The Believers

Anu read one of her brother's books(Roald Dahl's 'The Witches') by chance and the first page spooked her badly. She kept the book down silently and for the next few minutes moved around the house sulking and scowling at all of us. It took a considerable effort from the rest of us to convince her that it was only fiction after all, just like many of her demon stories. But then she said she couldn't understand why anyone would want to buy and read such unpleasant books.
