Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery by Brom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of the most solid witchery books I've ever read, straddling that fence between realism and historical accuracy (until we get to a very satisfying break from it) and gloriously supernatural witchery.

Basically, it pulls off a great hat-trick. As a horror, it has great timing and build-up, giving us humor in all the right places, and an emotionally satisfying end. Read: bloody.

Of course, these old New England types REALLY had it coming to them. So let's rejoice and praise God! Gods. Whatever. This was some quality stuff, either way.

Happy Spooktober!
