Summary:A real witch gets the same pleasure from squelching a child as you get from eating a plateful of strawberries and cream. What's even more unnerving is that real witches don't look like witches. So how can you tell when you meet one? This story reveals all about a most gruesome gang of witches.

I found a CD rip.
I will put it in an M4B and upload later.
The torrent file probably came from that, but they put the tracks in the wrong order and duplicated some as well.
Maybe deliberately, since the unabridged reading is about 4 hours (different reader).
So will delete this.
