About this listen

Howard Marsh is a lot of things: a liar, a thief, a poor man’s wizard. He’s the product of a miserable county with more dirt roads than paved; where poverty and loss is the order of the day. He’s a man haunted by his past, and has yet to find any reason to try and piece himself back together.

Where we find him is at the bottom, eking out a living as a water witch, a copper thief, a finder of lost things. Living in a storage shed and trying to maintain what's left of the frayed relationships of the few family members who will still talk to him. Untrained, he uses the drugs that ravage his body to fuel his magic.

Marsh will work to unravel two supernatural mysteries as only a redneck wizard can: poorly, and with much cursing. In Bringing Home the Rain he has to piece together just why it hasn’t rained in months within the bounds of a perfect circle just south of town. And in Dancing With Your Demons he’s on the trail of a missing woman whose now infamous son once burned down a church.

He is Howard Marsh, the Methgician.

He’s a travesty...but he’s the best hope Jubal County has.

(Warning: This book contains much cursing and foul language, as befits a tale told by a drug addled white trash wizard.)

I enjoyed this book immensely, the story drew me right in, grabbing my attention and captivating it the entire time. Ok, so Bob McGough tells us that “Howard Marsh is a lot of things: a liar, a thief, a poor man’s wizard”, and he is all that, and so much more, some good, some not so good, but you know what, I was for him and hoping for the best outcome in every situation he found himself in and some of the were real doozies. McGough’s descriptive details are amazing and he paints a vivid picture with his words to bring you alongside the character and giving you a bird’s-eye view of everything going in the world of Howard Marsh. Some may say Howard is a man down on his luck, but he gets by, lives his life in a drug induced oblivion, mostly by choice, getting by, sometimes with help, sometimes by the skin of his teeth, sometimes it is just luck. Despite all that, he is an interesting man, one with gifts and abilities that are sought after in times of need. I found the paranormal elements to be intriguing, and the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as is the character development. Bob McGough, thank you for this great story and wild ride.

🎧📚🎧 John Solo is a wonderfully talented voice artist, and he did an amazing job capturing the essence of the story and the characters. He has a knack of choosing the perfect voice for the characters, ones that fit their personality to a tee, and I love how he owns each role, sounding believable and just as I imagined the character to sound. He sets the perfect tone for the story, captures all the characters’ emotions and has you feeling them all. John Solo is an entertaining storyteller and his performance elevates the story to another level. Thank you for another fantastic listen.

Terrific Story & Listen🎧A Wild & Intriguing Ride!

Marsh is a thief and a drug addict but he also happens to be a wizard. When the people in his small town ask for his help he always helps them.
Marsh is a very intriguing main character and it was interesting being in his head. He's a flawed man but I think that deep down he has a good heart. I really liked the small town setting and the supernatural aspect of the plot. In this book we follow him as he solves two paranormal mysteries. I enjoyed listening both stories. I would actually really like to learn more about Marsh's past and his family.
The narrator was brilliant and brought Marsh to life. I loved how he voiced the main character and all the other residents of the small town. Great audiobook and very entertaining book. And I think it's perfect for the season.

Great book!
