Brom

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!” This terrifying tale of bewitchery features more than two dozen of Brom’s haunting paintings, 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.

Slewfoot

"I do not hear you ... I cannot hear you. For the dead do not hear."

…it had been her mother who'd said that the serpent in Eden had brought not a curse, but the gift of enlightenment.

"Why does her mother not ask the Christ God to heal her child?"

 "She has. We all have. Many, many, prayers.”

Abitha shrugged. "We shall see. Sometimes God helps, sometimes He does not." 

Samson shook his head. "They need a better god."

“…It was love, not pain, that broke her."
