Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered is a stand-alone fantasy and mystery novel by author Riley Carrick. The plot follows Faye Maple, a composed and perceptive witch who runs both the Maple Inn and a metaphysical shop called Burn, Brew, and Bubble. Her life, already defined by personal loss and a careful balance between normalcy and magic, is disrupted when she experiences a vivid and unsettling prophetic vision in which she stands over a dead body, a bloodied knife in her hand.
As Faye attempts to interpret what she has seen, the town stumbles upon a long-lost local legend: the Cruthers Curse, a centuries-old prophecy written by Mabel Cruthers, a woman once known for her uncanny intuition during the American Revolution. The curse, preserved across five fragmented parchment pages, describes a series of escalating misfortunes in poetic, symbolic language. When the first of these predictions comes true in the form of a sudden infestation of mice in the town café, it becomes clear that the curse is no longer dormant. As panic and excitement ripple through Wickfield Hollow, the town’s theatrical mayor, Ida Paris, seizes the moment to draw attention and tourism, organizing a large-scale Halloween festival known as the Wickfield Hollow-ween Town Showdown.

Get the Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered mug.A sneaky cousin of the Tundra Swan where the slow disaster is hidden inside natural noise. The trend exists, but annual ups and downs are so wild that statistics can’t confirm it for decades—by which time it’s too late. Example: ocean acidification masked by daily pH swings; oyster farms collapsed before the math said “significant.” Named after the quietest swan subspecies.
