An epic historical novel based on documented supernatural events in 18th century Virgina, from a master storyteller. "A colossus." "A classic true story, much enhanced." "Rich in Early American history." "A dynamite story told well." "The reader is given a glimpse of New World pragmatism shredded by otherworldly forces it denies, and the Ancient Faith sweeping in to rescue surprised saints." (Jeff Wiitala)

This may be a work of historical fiction, but a great many of the characters and events it chronicles actually happened. The main characters, Adam and Mary Ann Livingston, their friends Richard and Anastasia McSherry, and the McSherry's priest, Fr. Denis Cahill actually lived through the hauntings of the spirit that historically came to be known as the Wizard Clip. Further, the events were investigated by none other than Rev. (Prince) Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin, The Apostle of the Alleghenies, who is being considered for canonization by the Catholic Church. His current title is "Servant of God." Gallitzin, who narrates this tale, wrote of the Wizard Clip hauntings: "After three months of investigation, I was soon converted to a full belief of them. No lawyer in a court of justice did more than I, nor procured more than your unworthy servant." Today, over 200 years later, the village of Middleway, West Virginia, continues to celebrate its place in history with wood-block emblems on building fronts depicting a crescent moon and a pair of scissors. The village, to some, is still remembered as Clip Town.
