Publisher's Summary

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.  

“If it is a devil you seek, then it is a devil you shall have!”

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire

What the critics say

"Which is worse? The Devil of the forest or the terror of Puritan village rumors, accusations, and lies? At the crossroads of victimhood and vengeance, Abitha makes her choice - and blood follows." (Richard Kadrey, New York Times best-selling author of the Sandman Slim series)

"I loved this book. A roaring, bloody, beautiful work of pure imagination." (Andy Davidson, author of The Boatman's Daughter)

"Punctuated by moments of unanticipated levity as well as unmitigated terror, this clever and imaginative tale is not to be missed by fans of dark fantasy and historical horror." (Library Journal)

A captivating Read 🎃

𝗦𝗹𝗲𝘄𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗺
Rated 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Abitha is married to Edward in a puritan society.
Where women are seen but not heard. They must follow the rules. But in a community where Abitha is a stranger learning new ways, she's constantly in trouble for being witty and intelligent.
And when Edward's brother Wallace tries to outsmart him for his land, Abitha is infuriated and speaks out to help Edward but instead creates a vicious enemy in Wallace.
Wallace goes on every angle to make Abitha pay, burning her crops, accusing her of madness, but she thwarts him at every angle until she's accused of the one thing that's most damning of all....witchcraft.
But Abitha meets Samson and the wild folk and she is embracing her nature and she makes a choice that will change everything.

A captivating read. ❤️📚

Definitely Original

Took me awhile to finish but it’s pretty good book. It’s a little weird but overall enjoyed it for the most part.

My new favourite book

Perfection - character development, storyline, originality, plot twist, right down to the talented and diverse narrator. You will not find a better book, I’m going to purchase a hardcover version for my physical collection right now.
