A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

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.

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

Editorial Reviews

Review

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

"I loved this book. A roaring, bloody, beautiful work of pure imagination." ―Andy Davidson, author of The Hollow Kind

"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

"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

"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

“Slewfoot 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. All hail Brom, all hail Slewfoot!” ―Clay McLeod Chapman, author of The Remaking

"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

“This is a tale that will unsettle readers as they vacillate between fear and celebration. ... For all who enjoy historical horror with healthy doses of dark fantasy, witchcraft, and vengeance.” ―Booklist Reviews

“Slewfoot is creepy, crawly, bloody fun. If you’re looking for a witchy, thrilling ride that also has a philosophical soul, grab a copy of Slewfoot―and don’t put it down until you’ve finished it.” ―BookPage (Starred Review)

"Slewfoot is an extraordinary, harrowing tale about a remarkable friendship and a demon trying to find his soul. It’s a journey of witchcraft, misogyny, paganism, and piety. It left me spellbound and my tortured black heart devoured this story looking for more." ―Cemetery Dance

Slewfoot was in my TBR for a little while and always suggested in my reading groups. I finally had the time to read it on KU and I could not put it down! The story was addicting, perfectly paced, and ended just right! I loved the art at the end, I found I imagined the characters looks pretty accurately. I definitely plan to buy a physical copy because this book was so good and will be reread.

This book is WILD, like what did I just read? It is a devilishly good fairytale book! Very medium - fast pace, will keep your attention from the first chapter, and OMG, the chapters, has illustrated art. (Chief Kiss) I enjoyed this book. Abitha is the definition of a "strong independent woman," who doesn't mind going against MEN to prove she can handle business and take care of her late husband farm by herself! Love love love her character.
.
Abitha's brother-in-law Wallace can go play in traffic! He annoyed me like most men back in that time thinking women should be seen and not heard! Wallace, BYE!
.
Abitha meets Slewfoot, and 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.

This is a celebration of feminine rage, of wrongs against women and women's rights. This book takes you back to the year 1666, in America when the puritans ruled the land with their oppressive and violent nature. I won't spoil the rest

A rather fascinating tale, very well written by an author that is knowledgeably about the cruelty of ignorance; the nastiness that mascarades as religion; the sadists that hide behind god. However not for me. Would rather not wallow in the horror of human’s depravity

5.0 out of 5 stars great main female character
Reviewed in Mexico on December 16, 2023

Abitha was an amazing character!
she was vulnerable and emotional and SO strong, even putting herself at risk when she had to stand up for herself and others.

This is how I like main female characters, not just super strong-I-don't-need-help kind of character or the the soft girl needing to be rescued, she was layerd and flawed, soft but brave, and always pushing trying to do what she thought needed to be done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book by Brom!!!
Reviewed in Canada on January 4, 2023
Verified Purchase
In "Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchment," Brom tells the story of Abitha, a young woman who is sold off by her father in London and married to Edward in Puritanical Connecticut. When her husband's brother attempts to steal their farm and nosy neighbors get involved, Abitha must fight to hold on to what is rightfully hers after being widowed. The narrative is told in a fairy tale-like style and features well-defined characters, particularly the strong and headstrong Abitha. Brom's writing is strong and the characters all grow and change throughout the story, making for a captivating and enjoyable read.
