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!”

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)
Featured Article: The top 100 horror books of all time
This list encompasses the full spectrum of what horror can be—campfire-worthy tales, stomach-churning gore, and incisive social commentary. The classics are accounted for, but it also spotlights more recent titles, because that’s the nature of the genre—it is as perennial as it is ever-evolving, conjuring whatever frights most haunt our collective consciousness. Each title does have one thing in common: It makes for devilishly good listening. So cut the lights and press play—if you dare.

the story of a woman living in 17th century puritanical Connecticut, attempting to carve out her path as a widow in a society ruled by God and men; its chock-full of wins and losses. you find yourself rooting for the main character during the tiny victories, and dreading the inevitable defeats due to the times. it made for an engaging read.
unfortunately, this book seems to fall into type-casr area for Brom, as it follows some of his previous stories "self-imposed tropes."
mythic monster/demon/deity attempts to find himself, aligns with human character, both find themselves through the journey. it sadly made for a predictable read through. but this is far from a slight, especially if this is the first book you're reading of his.
even though this is not my favorite book by Brom, it is far from bad. Definitely worth the credit.
great book, but bottom of brom's selection
