Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery

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.

This book is just lovely. The feminine rage, the delicious revenge, the tough as nails FMC… I ate up every last word. Easily claiming a spot in my top 5.

Definitely a good spooky read. Brom's illustrations are excellent. Felt like his version of the origin story of witches and I loved it. My first Brom read so will definitely be reading more.
