I can't say that I've ever read any dark fantasy involving witch hunters - not as you've portrayed them certainly (in Mauve Eye).

So - in conclusion - yes, sounds original. Or at least, highly uncommon.

Yes...I have a critique in progress - saved as draft. ^_^ The title caught my eye; and I liked the image of the huntseye, blurring things mauve.

Is the story based in a fictional world or ours?

I've read a book set in our world with witches, vampires, etc, all living in secret and some humans know of their existance and try to hunt them down. I can't remember the title but I think you should still go for the idea.

It may have been done once or twice, but it certainly isn't something that you see often. Give it a shot, see what happens. Even if it isn't original to begin with, often it will become more original in the details and the characters.

Just do your research, so us real witches don't get a bum rap.
Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.
