 couldn’t put down Slewfoot by Brom! It’s got everything—Puritans, folklore, demons, and a badass woman fighting back against injustice. The way religion is used to justify awful treatment and how social hysteria takes over is so intense. Plus, the illustrations are gorgeous. I don’t usually go for horror, but I wanted to try something new, and now I want to read all of Brom’s books. Heads up though, it gets pretty gory, so be prepared!
