![]() ![]() She is like nothing and no one I have ever seen before, and yet she is familiar, as if I have always known her. ![]() ![]() Paralyzed with fear, I watch as it moves about her of its own accord, a soft undulation as if she were underwater.Īnd though I can see her as clear as day, the veiled woman in our dining room, there’s a translucence to her, and the panoramic wallpaper is just visible behind her. Her dress is old, black as night yet opalescent as the moon through a cobweb. She sits as if she has every right to be there, as if she has always been there.Ī veil covers her face, but it is gauzy and threadbare, and I can see the contours of the features beneath. Seated at the table is a woman, or what used to be a woman. I hope you enjoy this witchy excerpt I’ve pulled for you. ![]() My novel takes place in a small New England town over 130 years after the Trials, and features a Gothic, melancholic atmosphere, restless spirits, and of course, resilient women. My name is Hester Fox, and hailing from Boston I’ve always been fascinated with the rich and oftentimes dark history of the infamous Salem Witch Trials. Hello WITCH readers, I’m so excited to share an excerpt with you from my upcoming debut novel, THE WITCH OF WILLOW HALL (on-sale October 2, 2018). ![]()
