Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Witch Watch is an Alternate History novel by Shamus Young, set in Victorian London; in which a young lady with a head for invention, a boy with a gift for sorcery, and a rotting corpse with a dry sense of humor all find themselves fighting against a strange new threat to the British crown while being under attack of the Church.Notable for its historical authenticity and a sapid Low Fantasy universe with a rather well-thought-out magic system. Has been likened to the works of Terry Pratchett more than once, but includes just a tad less Lampshade Hanging and Deconstruction and a tad more realism and grit.

Church Militant: The Church's main activities seem to be killing things and burning evidence.

Central Theme: Prejudice. People constantly underestimate each other and judge on appearances.

Animate Dead: A normal use of revivification, which when not done right can bring people back feral. Particularly horrible when used on dogs. And Lord Mordaunt uses this to create an army for himself.

Black Cloak: The Four Horsemen. As Gilbert points out 'Why don't cults ever wear yellow robes? It would catch people off guard.' Which is slightly ironic, as he ends up disguising himself in a black cloak for a large part of the book.

Boarding School of Horrors: To put it this way, it's unlikely that the pupils of the 'Ravenstead Academy' — where the curriculum mainly consists of fear and only the strongest are allowed to 'graduate' — are allowed to go home for the holidays.
