"The Three Perils of Man; or, War, Women, and Witchcraft, Vol. 3 (of 3)" by James Hogg, is an exciting border romance from the 1800s that crashes together adventure with the other-worldly. The story revolves around Charlie Scott, Dan Chisholm, and their friends who get caught up in danger when they're locked up in Aikwood Castle and have scary run-ins with spooky, supernatural beings. As hell breaks loose at Aikwood Castle, Charlie Scott and the others are desperate to get out. The arrival of Dan Chisholm brings news of chaos and hints that evil forces have been unleashed upon the world. Working together to break through the castle gates, Dan's group sees strange and scary figures inspiring dread and terror. Surrounded by witchcraft and the supernatural, that puts the group into a situation that gets more terrifying by the minute as they deal with real-world and mental demons. The beginning introduces a dangerous tale packed with old-fashioned folklore and lessons about right and wrong.
