The edition guide

A closer look.

Schwab’s debut returns as an illustrated hardcover, built around new artwork for its story of disappearances, suspicion and folklore.

Why return to this book?

Illustration offers a concrete way to revisit the book’s enclosed village and unsettled landscape. It is a useful choice for readers interested in the beginning of Schwab’s fiction rather than a continuation of a later series.

About the original work

The Near Witch was first published in 2011. Its village and moorland mystery precede this Titan edition by many years; March 2027 is the edition’s planned publication, not the novel’s debut.
