22. silly little piece of fluff "Hexed In Texas" A Baba Yaga mystery

this was basically just a hoot. I love silly supernatural fiction and this one definitely fills the bill

Baba Yaga is a witch from Russian legends. She is badass. If you have ever seen "Spirited Away" she is the witch in that movie.

So Baba Yaga travels through her magic mirror from her cabin in the Russian woods to modern San Antonio, following a strange scent she has detected.

Strange glowing rocks with messages are being pulled out of the construction work at the Alamo.

Another witch from New Orleans smells it too and heads for San Antonio.

These two women wreak all sorts of havoc as they duke it out trying to find the source of the smell. The regular people who get caught up in the wake of this feud suffer a variety of insults and injury

The descriptions of Baba Yaga trying to figure out modern American life are hysterical. She has great fun casting bizarre hexes on everyone who even looks at her.

There are more to follow. I can't wait to find out Baba Yaga's next target.
