Something Wicked Has Returned . . . A week has passed since Nate Watson defeated the evil warlock, Malleus Hodge, with the help of the witchfinder's serpent, a magickal, snake-shaped bracelet once owned by Hodge himself. Unable to remove the ancient bracelet from his arm, Nate struggles to control the serpent's immense powers. As hellish monsters and once-dead creatures arrive accompanied by impossible displays of magick, it becomes clear that Hodge is back with a plan: to unleash a twenty-first century witch hysteria. Neighbor will be pitted against neighbor as the warlock stokes the flames of fear and paranoia to epic proportions. With the help of his friends and a beautiful, mysterious visitor, Nate searches for a way to defeat Hodge for good-while coming to terms with loss, betrayal, and the fear that the serpent's dark magicks are beginning to influence his behavior in unexpected ways. What Nate doesn't know is that a sinister pact drives Hodge, who will stop at nothing to fulfill a dark bargain several centuries in the making
