Summary
An unforgettable, high-stakes, laugh-out-loud funny novel, The Witchstone blends the merciless humor of The Good Place with the madcap fantasy of Terry Pratchett.

Meet Laszlo, eight-hundred-year-old demon and Hell’s least productive Curse Keeper. From his office beneath Midtown, he oversees the Drakeford Curse, which involves a pathetic family upstate and a mysterious black monolith. It’s a sexy enough assignment—colonial origins, mutating victims, et cetera—but Laszlo has no interest in maximizing the curse’s potential; he’d rather sunbathe in Ibiza, quaff martinis, and hustle the hustlers on Manhattan’s subway. Unfortunately, his division has new management, and Laszlo’s ratings are so abysmal that he’s given six days to shape up or he’ll be melted down and returned to the Primordial Ooze.

Meet Maggie Drakeford, nineteen-year-old Curse Bearer. All she’s ever known is the dreary corner of the Catskills where the Drakeford Curse has devoured her father’s humanity and is rapidly laying claim to her own. The future looks hopeless, until Laszlo appears at the Drakeford farmhouse one October night and informs them that they have six days—and six days only—to break the spell before it becomes permanent. Can Maggie trust the glib and handsome Laszlo? Of course not. But she also can’t pass up an opportunity to save her family, even if it means having a demon as a guide …

Thus begins a breakneck international adventure that takes our unlikely duo from a hot dog stand in Central Park to the mountains of Liechtenstein. As the clock ticks down, tough-as-nails Maggie and conniving Laszlo will uncover a secret so profound that what began as a farcical quest to break a curse will eventually threaten the very Lords of Hell.

Loved this story. also loved that there's no romance. perfect

Profile Avatar Carol B. Sep 2024

I chose this as a VIP reward and am glad that I did. The (mis) adventures of a royally born demon choosing to fool around instead of tending to the curses he has been assigned to, a young girl trying her darndest to break the curse on her family and her younger brother, make for quite an unlikely threesome. It is unclear till the end if they will succeed. Will the demon choose to complete his assignment or will he help the cursed family. I really hope there will be another audio following this most enjoyable listen! The narrator was good and the story line great!!

Wonderfully engaging characters and storyline.

Profile Avatar Christine P. Sep 2024

OMG! All I can say is AWESOME AWESOMENESS AWESOMELY!! What a great story! It catches you during the first 3 chapters and it never slowed down! Heart-eye emoji!!!!! I chose this title from a handful of books (it really was the only interesting title offered… and it is a five-star review!) I’m glad I selected it! I would have used a credit on it!! I will look through the other titles from Henry Neff! The narrator was the best one for the job!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Profile Avatar David S. Apr 2025

Smart, exciting, and funny! Well crafted characters and enough twists and turns to keep you locked in. Narrator did an excellent jobs with voicing all the characters.

Profile Avatar Brandi C. Mar 2026

Quick pacing, lovable characters, plenty of adventure and giggles. Who would’ve thought a demon could be so endearing.

If you like dnd, you’ll like this book!

Profile Avatar Jennifer B. Mar 2026

Absolutely delightful!

Profile Avatar Breckly Q. Mar 2026

Very clever writing, extraordinary adventure, and it kept me guessing until the very end!! All in all it may be one of the better audiobooks I’ve read. The narrator was perfection, his voice was so soothing and yet perfectly suited for Lazlo the demon. The characters were incredible in depth and personality. I appreciated that in a world full of “spicy” novels, these characters remained completely platonic. It was refreshing and admirable. It was tasteful and almost realistic in some ways. Overall a fantastic read and I’m happy I spent my vip credit on this one!!

A super entertaining book with a really good narration

Profile Avatar Debra B. Feb 2026

The character Lazlo had an entertaining personality. Great narration.

Profile Avatar Erin H. Feb 2026

Very witty and creative. If there is a sequel, I’d gladly order it.

Profile Avatar Erin I. Feb 2026

Demon societies hiding within the world of humans is not a new concept but this was SO FUN! and SO FUNNY! It is a fast paced adventure across multiple continents with cool witchy folklore creatures from different cultures.. ugh I loved it. I hope he writes more books about side characters and that's really how you know it's a well written novel when you want whole books about multiple characters who only get a scene or two in this one. 10/10

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2026

This book was hilarious, engaging and read-it-again enjoyable ! Chose it as my VIP and now recommending it to everyone I know! Cant wait to read more from this author!

Profile Avatar Dana Kirkland Feb 2026

I am so excited to see this on here! amazing book!

Profile Avatar Bridgit C. Feb 2026

Some books you just are sad to have end! This was one of them! The story captivates your imagination with storylines and subplots. Many surprising moments as well. The characters are well defined and the interactions with each other evolve throughout with changing emotions toward each other. Often fast paced with contemplative moments. I truly enjoyed the characters as well as the story itself. Including the writers narrative in the final notes, time spent in Covid lockdown truly well spent.

Profile Avatar Neckole S. Dec 2025

I really enjoyed the story. Definitely not a read if you aren’t into the subject matter or super religious. But it was a fun story and hope there is a next book!

Profile Avatar Ali A. Aug 2025

This is without a doubt my favorite book of the year. I LOVED this book so much! I haven't laughed out loud so many times during a book. The creativity and humor are just perfect.

Very good, made my time on the treadmill flyby

Too weird for my taste.

Profile Avatar Daiana S. Jun 2025

Super engaging

Profile Avatar Schildress Jun 2025

This was not the type of book I normally read, however, it was entertaining, very funny in parts, far fetched, and interesting.

Profile Avatar Jamie J. May 2025

I unexpectedly loved this novel (bought on a whim in a 2-1 point deal) and have since looked for more from this author. It made me laugh out loud and entertained throughout its entirety. Character development was wonderful and plot was rich. I’ve listened to it twice now because I felt I may have missed a few things first listen (which was accurate). Loved the use of language, philosophy, and humor. Highly recommend! Narrator was spot-on!

Profile Avatar Stephan Lindkvist May 2025

It took me far to long to finish this book. The story´s quite good and sure has some interesting characters. I got pretty annoyed at the younger brother Lump fairly early. He was too naive, too innocent and too irritating. But the author never the less managed to make him work. The only real issue I had must have been the overly sexual themes. The way it was described made it just disgusting, and I'm fairly sure that was intentional. The story was quite a roller coaster where repetitive and boring fetch quests had to compete with cool creatures and places. The end proved more epic than I'd imagined and the epilogue was beautiful.

Profile Avatar Nancy B Apr 2025

Loved this book. It was just light enough while still being very entertaining. I look Forward to this becoming a series

Profile Avatar Hayley B. Apr 2025

The Witchstone is one of those books that you never want to end - which is funny because it’s 17 hours long. Even so, I was sad when it ended and thoroughly enjoyed my time listening. I am a true crime/thriller girly but I LOVED this book!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2025

Excellent story, excellent characters, and a very fun ride (though there were occasional moments of body horror)

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2025

Great action, drama, and humor. The narrator is amazing taking the story to the next level that everyone should listen to this book vs reading it.

Profile Avatar Jreedrn Mar 2025

I enjoyed this audiobook. Easy listen while doing chores!

Profile Avatar Maryam P. Mar 2025

The book is very well written, and the subject kept me on the edge of my seat. However, I didn't expect the humor and certainly didn't expect to laugh so much. Absolutely loved it.

Profile Avatar pickleranch843 Feb 2025

I hope this becomes a movie honestly. such a great story.

Profile Avatar BetsyL Feb 2025

I was genuinely sad when the book was over, it brought me so much joy during my work commutes and the characters are hilarious.

Profile Avatar Zoe L. Feb 2025

The book was so fun to read. I was bummed when it was over! Such an experiential story.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2025

Just the right mix of danger, mystery, mayhem, and humor.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2025

my first venture into fantasy fiction. interesting enough.

Profile Avatar Aimee D. Jan 2025

I enjoyed this book a great deal! It hooked me from the very beginning and I enjoyed most everything about it. The only reason I gave it 4 star is because some of the details surrounding the curse were more graphic and don’t match with what I thought the overall tone of the book was. Other than that- I highly recommend!!!!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2025

Wonderful story read beautifully! Loved the humor and the characters.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2024

Enjoyed getting to know these characters. I am new to listening to books but this kept me alert and awake for a cross country trip. I couldn’t wait to get back into the car to continue the journey. Great book! Well done.

A really good supernatural adventure.

Profile Avatar Anthony S. Nov 2024

Excellent. Laugh out loud humor at times. Narrator is fantastic, consistent with voices and believable. Will look up more works by the author and narrator, it was that enjoyable.

Profile Avatar Judi Jeanotte Nov 2024

it took me awhile to finish but not because I was uninterested. I just didn't have time. Despite my erratic attention,unlike most audiobooks, I didn't have to start the chapter over again to remember where I was in the plot. I listened to this book weeks ago and though I have forgotten the names I will never forget the demon, I loved his sense of humor nor the poor,but resourceful cursed and her amazing younger brother. Not to mention the river gods and their offspring. yeah great book give it a listen.

Profile Avatar Heather M. Nov 2024

This was such a great book! Would definitely listen to again.

SO GOOD! entertaining, suspenseful, engaging, and funny. Throw in a dash of sadness and extremely well written fight scenes and you have a really great ride. Characters are well developed and complex. Following to see if another book is forthcoming.

It was easily one of the best books I have listened to lately. The story was intriguing written with good style. Would recommend for a fun read anytime.

nice conclusion. nothing fancy. just a good simple story

Profile Avatar Jill F. Oct 2024

I absolutely loved listening to this book! The narrator is my new absolute favorite and I will look for his readings in the future. I really hope this author writes another, either a sequel or a series. Lazlo is a fantastic character! Every character was fully alive in my mind and played pivotal roles in the story. I found myself laughing at loud, talking to the characters, moments of anxiety, and full of hope.

Profile Avatar Description Label Oct 2024

4.5 stars. Funny and thrilling and perfect.

Profile Avatar Tia S. Oct 2024

Fast paced, but not so fast you don't get to know the characters. Engaging story.

Profile Avatar Mara N. Oct 2024

This book was a fun read. Fast paced, fun characters and ideas. Great for the start of October! Not scary but a little unsettling at moments but so much silliness as well. Loved it!

Good fun concept. I didn’t want to stop listening to it!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2024

I really enjoyed this tale! It was whimsy, thought provoking, and had parts that were laugh out loud funny. It was a nice change of pace from the “ending guessed” books. I got it through the VIP selection and was probably the best one I have picked so far.

Very entertaining. Not a dull moment

Profile Avatar Katarzyna K. Sep 2024

Super fun to read!

Profile Avatar Elvita W. Sep 2024

Delightfully entertaining in the most obscure way. The narrator was excellent and kept characters distinctly separated; which was a pleasure to listen to and greatly appreciated. I think the moral of this book is— there is humanity and decency in everyone and everything no matter how deep one has to dig to find it within.

Profile Avatar Laura S. Sep 2024

It was awesome feeling in love with a demon. The courage of Maggie was inspiring

Profile Avatar Ranger H Fox Sep 2024

Chose this randomly as a VIP reward, and really loved the fun magical romp through a demon infested world. Looking forward to reading more of Henry's work. Also Ramiz is an incredible narrator, great accents and depth to his voice.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2024

If this book ever became a movie, (which I could absolutely see) it would be a natural off-shoot of Beetlejuice…it seems to occur in the same universe and has the same type of humor. The narrator was really very good…except for his try at a Massachusetts/Connecticut accent. (CT doesn’t really have one so I would have suggested just dropping the attempt!) That is my only peeve. There is one character that was enjoyable but not quite written as expected. I’m not sure how to explain this without a spoiler, so I’ll just say, being really really REALLY old should show in a character’s demeanor through the book and not just at the introduction. Don’t let any of this stop you from listening. It was quite humorous and just a great story with a number of interesting twists and conversations. I would absolutely listen to another book with this demon as a character. A lot was quite fantastical but not convenient (for example - when an author springs well-timed random magic just because they are not skilled enough to have written it in as part of the fabric of the story - none of that here). Long but you won’t get bored. It’s a good one! If you are avoiding certain themes, there is a bit of sexual content and one brief scene of near sexual assault and another I can’t describe without giving away a spoiler.
