An excellent story about two 17th Century witches, executed during the Salem witch hunt, and brought back to life. The witches are so evil, but at the same time you fall in love with their characters. This has always been one of my fave gems in my book collection. I first read this book when I was in my teens and fell in love with it. Witches, sex and rock and roll! The book is filled with plenty of lust, magic, vengeance, & dark humor. There is allot of Satanic touches to this story, but if you are offended by that you can easily look over it and still enjoy the story. I like how the author included the disclaimer in the author's note, that there are no authentic Satanic rituals in the whole book. Good to know and warn the idiots that actually might try and reenact anything in this book.

Heavy Metal meets old English limericks. This story is about a Metal band named "Witch's Sabbath", reminiscent of Ozzy Osbourne's Black Sabbath, who hook tails with a couple of reincarnated witches, who take the music unto eclectic soaring heights.
The character of Gwendalyn Jenkins is really admirable, in all her cruel, ruthless splendour. She loves Simon Proctor {an Ozzy-esque character}, who greatly reminds her of his ancestor, who was burned at the stake for being an Warlock, along with the two main witches, brought back to the earth by Satan, from Hell. She struck a deal to regain her long lost love, & now she finds her opportunity. & nothing will stop her from regaining what is hers!
A news reporter greatly described like Ol' Broken Nose Geraldo Rivera, makes a cameo appearance, although the name herein is Percy Campbell.
CANDLEMAS EVE is filled with plenty of lust, Magic, vengeance, & dark humour. There are many situations Satanists will be able to relate to.
Mr. Sackett was wise to include the disclaimer in the author's note, that there are no authentic Satanic rituals in the whole book, but there are some interesting ideas, that you may want to incorporate in your own practices.
CANDLEMAS EVE is basically designed to terrify the normals. I imagine it is quite effective.
Overall, CANDLEMAS EVE is very entertaining, & inspirational at times. One interesting & exciting situation to the next. Never a dull moment.
