The Spell of
the Shadowbrook Witch is a variation upon an old theme. India Crowley, an eccentric young woman has
pretended to be a witch for years and is the butt of jokes in the apartment
complex in which she lives. Suddenly one Halloween night, against the advice
from her friends, she crosses the line between make-believe and serious
witchcraft. After suffering ridicule
from the tenants at Shadowbrook Arms, India manages to invoke the dark forces
and castes a spell upon her antagonists, turning twelve young men and women
into cats. Naturally, all twelve cats, who communicate by telepathy, reflect
their human personalities, ranging over several breeds of cats, but time
begins to run out collectively for them as they search for a counter spell. A
preacher, a defrocked priest, a would-be sorcerer and a “white witch” work together
to find a cure before the felines lose their humanity entirely and mentally
become one hundred percent cats.
