(2) 4-6 Translated by Anthea Bell. Originally published as The Satanic Mill, this is a foreboding tale, set in seventeenth-century Germany, of fourteen-year-old Krabat, newly apprenticed to a miller who is running a school of black magic. Once a year, one of the twelve apprentices dies under mysterious circumstances. The atmosphere is menacing, the combination of realistic events and eerie dream sequences extremely effective. Preussler's horror novel still has significant power.
