Book excerpt: PATAPSCO UNIVERSITY: IT'S HOGWARTS MEETS BUFFY! Patapsco University: a small, cozy liberal arts college like so many others - except for the Department of Comparative Religion, where age-old spells are taught and magic is practiced. When a favorite teacher is found dead under mysterious circumstances, grad student David Galvin finds that something evil has arrived at Patapsco. A malevolent force that is after the powerful magical tomes and artifacts stored there. Something that will stop at nothing to feed its own growing power. And now David, along with four novice undergraduates, must face the ancient, malignant terror known as the Zwilling. He and his untrained, untested students are all that can keep the world from falling under The Curse of the Zwilling.
