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!”

This terrifying tale of bewitchery features more than two dozen of Brom’s haunting paintings, fully immersing readers in this wild and unforgiving world.

Industry 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 bestselling 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

Slewfoot is a lusciously dark tale of witchcraft and devilry ... This book was tailor-made for lovers of folk horror and everyone who wants to live deliciously. --Mallory O'Meara, bestselling author of The Lady from the Black Lagoon

A fast-paced, hallucinogenic fairy tale...delivering likable protagonists, exotic beasties, and scoundrels whom we long to see at table with their just desserts. --Christopher Buehlman, author of The Blacktongue Thief

"Brom has made a convert out of me with Slewfoot, which takes hold of the maxim 'sympathy for the devil' and yanks hard on that literary taproot, unearthing a far more elemental and complex truth. Demon or no, evil or not, the mighty stag Slewfoot deserves our love and devotion. He's got mine now. All hail Brom, all hail Slewfoot!" --Clay McLeod Chapman, author of The Remaking

Praise for Brom's previous novels:

Brom is that rare breed: a person who is skilled in more than one area of artistic expression. --Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of To Sleep In a Sea of Stars

"[Brom's] a storyteller with his artwork, and in a very elite class." --R.A. Salvatore New York Times bestselling author of The Legend of Drizzt

"Terrific. A wild ride....I loved it. It hooked me and I couldn't put it down." --Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy

"A gruesome and darkly fantastical twist on a classic tale. Brom injects pure horror into fantasy." --Holly Black

Lost Gods is ... the kind of story lovers whisper in stolen cars burning rubber from this world down to the very edge of the Abyss. --Richard Kadrey, New York Times bestselling author of the Sandman Slim series

Brom effortlessly weaves classical mythology with modern nightmares in this beautifully twisted hell ride. Heartwrenching, operatic, and stunningly illustrated, Lost Gods is a dark gem of a novel. --Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Red Hands

"Wickedly poetic, The Child Thief makes me want to believe." --Kim Harrison

"Beautiful and authentically dark." --Sci-Fi
