{{quote|''For centuries the dark arts have been wholly mysterious to those that do not practice them. We have mostly the church to thank for this. Their habit of burning books along with their owners has kept us in perpetual ignorance. It wasn't until this ministry was founded that we even began to study what we were fighting.''|'''Alice'''}}
''[[The Witch Watch]]'' is an [[Alternate History]] novel by [[Shamus Young]], set in [[Victorian London]]; [[In Which a Trope Is Described|in which]] a [[Action Girl|young lady]] with a [[Science Hero|head for invention]], a [[Heartwarming Orphan|boy]] with a [[Teen Genius|gift for sorcery]], and a [[Our Zombies Are Different|rotting corpse]] with a [[Deadpan Snarker|dry sense of humor]] all find themselves fighting against a [[Our Liches Are Different|strange new threat]] to the [[Queen
Notable for its [[Shown Their Work|historical authenticity]] and a sapid [[Low Fantasy]] [[Alternate Universe|universe]] with a rather [[Magic A Is Magic A|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 [[Urban Fantasy|realism]] and [[Darker and Edgier|grit]].
