Cat Magic (Vintage Paperback) by Whitley Strieber

A brilliant novel that stretches the boundaries of both dark fantasy and horror. — Set in the world of modern American witches, Catmagic is full of action, terror, and wonder, enormously entertaining and profoundly human. — Takes place in Maywell, New Jersey, a sleepy little town, the forces around it quite, until in a laboratory George Walker completes his first experiment in reanimation: He kills an animinal and brings it back to life.

Human subjects are next.
