Not yet published: Expected Oct 6, 2026

A brand-new, haunting thriller from Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid! Some secrets don't die--they wait. When Julia Barlow loses her job and her apartment, she has nowhere left to go but Pemberton, her family's sprawling seventeenth-century estate in rural Massachusetts. Officially, she's there to check in on her aging grandmother. Unofficially, she's hoping the old house will give her a place to disappear. Instead, Pemberton begins to unravel her. Every night, the grandfather clock stops at exactly 3:41 a.m. The lights flicker without warning. And a disembodied voice cries for help outside Julia's bedroom door. As Julia digs into the house's dark history, she uncovers the story of a woman executed for witchcraft in 1692--and realizes the past may not be finished with Pemberton yet. When decades of family lies begin to surface, Julia must confront a terrifying truth: Pemberton may be haunted by women whose voices refuse to stay silent. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes The Witch, a chilling, twist-filled thriller about secrets--those we inherit, those we bury, and those people will burn to keep silent.
