The Witch of Death Swamp

Long devoid of any life, the gray and still waters of Death Swamp brood silently beneath a sun dimmed by greenish fogs, and shadowed by tall, dead pitch-pines and oaks. No birds, fishes, frogs, or insects remain. And no foot of man has trod there for many years.

It is the year 1750, in the upstate of New York Province, and from that swamp has emerged a monstrous evil. How many will die before it is finally stopped? Seth Athenor, village apothecary and former French Colonial Marine, must enter the desolate swamp with a handful of soldiers to try to find the Witch. But he begins to suspect that she is not just senselessly murdering villagers but seems to be working toward some kind of plan. What it might be is not yet clear, but with each step taken into the swamp, the awful truth starts to emerge...
