In Voodoomsday, the final instalment of The Witch’s List Trilogy, Sandy Beech’s odyssey through the supernatural reaches an unsettling crescendo. With his family threatened, he must leave his home in Morocco, teaming up with his teenage sweetheart Gabriella as they travel to Louisiana, in search of answers. There they encounter the shadowy world of Voodoo, but the plot runs thicker, merging ancient African rituals with cutting-edge technology. This thrilling conclusion forces Sandy to form unholy alliances as the stakes turn out to be much higher than just saving his own family... "Once again, Andrew Cairns takes us into the candle-lit atmosphere of maraboutism and witchcraft! This time, however, ancestral beliefs and supernatural powers combine with... futuristic technologies. The courage of our main character, Sandy Beech, is no longer enough to thwart evil spells. He now needs to stand up to the prospect of a new digital age guided by ill-intentioned spiritual forces. A plot full of twists and turns where nothing less than the apocalypse is lurking." — Isabelle Richaud, author of Reflections on a Sustainable Society: Humanity in the Mirror.
