First person narrative. In the 40s a census taker comes to a house.
meets an orginary lookng woman who says her occupation is a witch
and she is 700 plus years old. he tries to leave, but the door has
disappered! Its written very hard boiled detective syle. He is
forced by her to go to a sabbath as A Question Of Etiquette as the
devil insists on 13 at cloven. A chilling scene when the devil
appears. As the narrator says His actions were vey ordinary, as
ordinary as hell! Another witch shows up and the devil is furious
and kills the witch who brought him. He is forced to take her place
and is put in her body.
Very well written story.
Not sure this should be mythical, Anyway an evil ancient Egyptain
wizard has put his soul into jewels in his mummy's eyes. thousands
of years later a tomb raider looks into the eyes and is forced to
switch bodies with him. He ends up in the mummy but for a time is
still conscious in 'its rotting flesh' while the wizard is alive
and in his body.
Way over the top writing but effective.

just like in the picture.
