About the book
A USA TODAY BESTSELLER! Set in Colonial New England, Slewfoot is a tale of magic and mystery, of triumph and terror as only dark fantasist Brom can tell it. Connecticut, 1666: An ancient spirit awakens in a dark wood. The wildfolk call him Father, slayer, protector. The colonists call him Slewfoot, demon, devil. To Abitha, a recently widowed outcast, alone and vulnerable in her pious village, he is the only one she can turn to for help. Together, they ignite a battle between pagan and Puritan – one that threatens to destroy the entire village, leaving nothing but ashes and bloodshed in their wake. This terrifying tale of bewitchery features more than two dozen of Brom’s haunting full-color paintings and brilliant endpapers, fully immersing readers in this wild and unforgiving world. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Reader voices
The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“4.25 stars. A very well-paced story that excellently mixed historical fiction with magic and mysticism, and dug deep into extremely consistent and interesting themes of religion, the horrors of humanity, and the idea that every villain is the hero of their own story.”
“IM IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK. Love Samson and Abitha. It was amazing”
