Creepy and atmospheric, this is a bizarre cross of historical fiction and horror.
The dual narratives didn't always compliment each other, and I found the narrative following Samson to be a bit slow and lacking. The pacing was probably my least favourite part of this, until the last 20% of the story.
“If it is a witch they want,” she hissed, “then a witch they shall have.”
I was so glad to get to the creeping witch hysteria, and the absolute chaos that followed.
