In the House in the Dark of the Woods -- Laird Hunt

<b>The eerie, disturbing story of one of our perennial fascinations -- witchcraft in colonial America -- wrapped up in a lyrical novel of psychological suspense.</b> <p/> Once upon a time there was and there wasn't a woman who went to the woods. In this horror story set in colonial New England, a law-abiding Puritan woman goes missing. Or perhaps she has fled or abandoned her family. Or perhaps she's been kidnapped, and set loose to wander in the dense woods of the north. Alone and possibly lost, she meets another woman in the forest. Then everything changes. <p/> On a journey that will take her through dark woods full of almost-human wolves, through a deep well wet with the screams of men, and on a living ship made of human bones, our heroine may find that the evil she flees has been inside her all along. <p/><i>In the House in the Dark of the Woods</i> is a novel of psychological horror and suspense told in Laird Hunt's characteristically lyrical prose style. It is the story of a bewitching, a betrayal, a master huntress and her quarry. It is a story of anger, of evil, of hatred and of redemption. It is the story of a haunting, a story that makes up the bedrock of American mythology, told in a vivid way you will never forget.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Laird Hunt<br><b>Publisher:</b> Back Bay Books<br><b>Published:</b> 10/08/2019<br><b>Pages:</b> 224<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.35lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 6.90h x 4.90w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780316515801<b
