Books like Hagwitch by Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick
In 16th‑century London, Flea Nettleworth, an apprentice to a struggling playwright, observes his master’s fortunes rise—and the city fall—to supernatural influence. The boundary between imagination and reality blurs, and a mysterious Faery Elder trunk may hold the answer. Centuries later, Lally lives on a canal barge with her puppeteer father, traveling the waterways and staging shows. Their fortune turns when the father retrieves an ancient piece of wood from the canal and crafts it into a new puppet. As the puppet’s performances grow more successful, its creator’s obsession deepens, and the plays grow darker. Lally begins to suspect that the wooden doll harbors a sinister, dangerous power that may threaten them both.
