Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery is a spellbinding dark fantasy novel from acclaimed author Brom, blending colonial history, mythic horror, and supernatural mystery. Set in Connecticut, 1666, this eerie, folkloric tale follows a widowed outcast named Abitha and a mysterious ancient spirit whose presence upends the fragile balance between pagan magic and Puritan fear.

Abitha, recently widowed and vulnerable, encounters him and soon finds herself caught in a deadly conflict where magic and superstition clash, threatening the entire village with fire, bloodshed, and fear.
Brom’s Slewfoot is notable for its atmospheric writing and immersive illustrations, featuring more than two dozen pieces of the author’s own artwork that bring this unsettling world to life.
