In the house in the dark of the woods / Laird Hunt.

Summary:

"The eerie, disturbing story of one of our perennial fascinations, witchcraft in colonial America, wrapped up in a lyrical novel of psychological suspense. 'Once upon a time there was and there wasn't a woman who went to the woods.' In this horror storyset 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. 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 sheflees has been inside her all along. In the House in the Dark of the Woods is a novel of psychological horror and suspense told in Laird Hunts characteristically lyrical prose style. It is the story of a bewitching, a betrayal, a master huntress and herquarry. 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, but told in a vivid way you will never forget. "-- Provided by publisher.
