Book description
Salem, New England, many dark nights ago.
It is a time of spells and shadows, of black magic and blood.
And the most famous witch hunt in history is about to begin...
Years later, a young woman is found savagely murdered, a pitchfork
thrust through her neck, her body arranged in the shape of a star: the
death pose of a witch. Someone - or something - is reviving the terror
of the notorious Salem Witch hunts. And only one man - a brilliant,
eccentric loner with a dazzling mind and a fascination with witchcraft -
can keep the evils of the past at bay.
Rich in history, mystery, and witchcraft, The Salem Witch Society
is a twisting, terrifying thriller - a dark fairy tale for readers who
loved A Discovery of Witches
and The Interpretation of Murder
. K. N. Shields grew up in Portland, Maine. He graduated from
Dartmouth College and the University of Maine School of Law. He
continues to reside along the coast of Maine with his wife and two
children. This is his first novel.
