Slewfoot
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.

Dark Fantasy
What to Know Before Reading Slewfoot
A historical setting in Colonial New England and a collision between pagan folk and Puritan colonists. Much of the setup centers on Abitha's personal vulnerability and her decision to seek aid from a dangerous, supernatural being. The conflict appears to be external and violent, with community tensions and ritual language shaping events. This may appeal more to someone interested in dark historical fantasy that pairs folk magic with communal danger.
