I just finished reading Revenge of the Witch by Joseph Delaney. It was kind of a cross between Harry Potter (a boy leaves home to learn of magical things) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the bad guys are a family of backwood witches that enjoy murdering and dining upon unsuspecting travelers).
It was a fun and fast read, sprinkled with moody illustrations by Patrick Arrasmith. Snag it from Amazon using this link and I should get a penance: Revenge of the Witch (The Last Apprentice)
