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
Critic reviews
"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)

Give it a miss.
I don’t know if I’ve just become more cynical but it’s getting harder and harder to find good compelling stories.
Brom is an artist and it’s obvious he’s tried to mould a story around his art and doesn’t do it very well. The book art is beautiful but that’s where it ends.
And aside from some good and interesting characters (Abatha was particularly likeable) this story has been told a million times and told better.
The narration was also terrible, why they would get an American to do a bad British accent i beyond me.

I loved every second of this wonderful book
Superbly written and beautiful narrated. Not only is it magical but also scarily real, it feels like ive had an indepth history lesson, of which it gives such graphic imagery of the cruelty suffered by so many innocents. If only all those accused had their very own Slewfoot.

Loved every word!
the whole story was well written and imaginative. It brought to light the ways of the olden days and how they dealt with matters, true or not.
Wonderful twists in the tale too.
