A deal with the devil, reimagined as the clash between pagan and Puritan as only Brom can tell it, set against the backdrop of colonial America.
Over the past few decades, acclaimed dark fantasy artist Brom has lent his distinctive vision to all facets of the creative industries, from novels and games to comics and film. He is the author of The Child Thief, Krampus, The Lost Gods, and the award-winning, illustrated horror novels The Plucker and The Devil's Rose. Brom is currently kept in a dank cellar just outside Seattle.
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
