Download or read book The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane written by Katherine Howe and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2009-06-09 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spellbinding, beautifully written novel that moves between contemporary times and one of the most fascinating and disturbing periods in American history - the Salem witch trials. Harvard graduate student Connie Goodwin needs to spend her summer doing research for her doctoral dissertation. But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, she can't refuse. As she is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the family house, Connie discovers an ancient key within a seventeenth-century Bible. The key contains a yellowing fragment of parchment with a name written upon it: Deliverance Dane. This discovery launches Connie on a quest-to find out who this woman was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physick book, its pages a secret repository for lost knowledge. As the pieces of Deliverance's harrowing story begin to fall into place, Connie is haunted by visions of the long-ago witch trials, and she begins to fear that she is more tied to Salem's dark past then she could have ever imagined. Written with astonishing conviction and grace, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane travels seamlessly between the witch trials of the 1690s and a modern woman's story of mystery, intrigue, and revelation.

Book Synopsis The Afflicted Girls by : Nicole Cooley
Download or read book The Afflicted Girls written by Nicole Cooley and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty individuals were executed and more than 150 imprisoned. The historical body of evidence that remains from the Salem witch trials of 1692 touched the hands, mind, and imagination of poet Nicole Cooley, compelling her to seek entry to an inaccessible past of lies. The Afflicted Girls, so named after the young women who claimed to be victims of witchcraft, spans the centuries to give voice to those both audible and silent on history’s pages—accusers and accused of several kinds: wife and husband, servant and master, congregant and minister, and, not least, bewitched and witch. Piercing, enchanting, Cooley’s poems form a remarkable narrative, one that displays the enormous cultural power the Salem witch trials retain in twenty-first-century America.

Book excerpt: Edgar Award-winning travel writer spends an autumn living in one of America's spookiest tourist destinations: Salem, Massachusetts Salem, Massachusetts, may be the strangest city on the planet. A single event in its 400 years of history—the Salem Witch Trials of 1692—transformed it into the Capital of Creepy in America. But Salem is a seasonal town—and its season happens to be Halloween. Every October, this small city of 40,000 swells to close to half a million as witches, goblins, ghouls, and ghosts (and their admirers) descend on Essex Street. For the fall of 2015, occult enthusiast and Edgar Award–winning writer J.W. Ocker moved his family of four to downtown Salem to experience firsthand a season with the witch, visiting all of its historical sites and macabre attractions. In between, he interviews its leaders and citizens, its entrepreneurs and visitors, its street performers and Wiccans, its psychics and critics, creating a picture of this unique place and the people who revel in, or merely weather, its witchiness.

Download or read book Nefarious Inside written by Tim W Byrd and published by Tim W Byrd Author. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Leave this alone'! If you do not Evil will come for you!" Time's would be tough for fourteen year old Bridgit Monroe who is only five foot even with long black hair and green eyes and smooth skin and tanned but then they always were. It seemed born into a legacy of old ancient beliefs from her father's side, whom died when she was only eight year's old from a car accident while on a business trip to London. He always seemed to share all he knew of his family heritage with her, which was shrouded in Pagan culture but Bridgit's mother never did approve. Prologue All the spirits in the world could not convince Mrs. Ann Monroe, who was strict, upstanding and proper and would not hear of such silliness about the paranormal world. To her it was anything but normal and not to be tampered with, her rules were her rules, and she made sure that Bridgit new that. Born and raised in Salem Massachusetts, in a nice 3-bedroom manor, one of the oldest in Salem, all stone and wood on Charter Street. Bridgit would no doubt be exposed to the world of witches and spirit's and she knew her mother did not approve but Ann would be sure to keep her from anything religious other than church and Bridgit knew secrecy was the best policy. The only other person that knew Bridgit's secret was Abigail Bishop, at fourteen year's old herself and five foot four with blonde hair, blue eyes and a few freckles, being a mild mannered girl and Bridgit's best friend. Abigail lived right next door to her in an old Victorian style manor house made of brick. Abby lives’ with her mother (Carol) and father (Miles). Abigail was an only child as well and that made for a lot of good fun for the two girl's because they would sneak out late at night to visit The Old Burying Point which is the oldest cemetery in Salem erected in sixteen thirty two. This is where they would go and try to contact spirits of the dead. Bridgit was mischievous but daring and a little reckless and loved to wear the things that reflected how she was, black nail polish, black lipstick, black clothing. The only problem here was she could only wear these things at Abigail's house when she would spend the night and her mother wouldn't know. Bridgit's room was just as she wanted it, everything black from her bed to her curtains, she even had a black apple computer complete with bookcases. Now the inside of the Monroe house was more modern having been remodeled before they moved in, having bright colored furniture, carpeting in every room except the kitchen and bathroom's complete with bay window's. Nothing less would do for Mrs. Monroe, the yard out front was just as big as the back, sitting on sixty acres with a long winding driveway with rose bushes leading up to the front door and lady Gloria statues flanking the door's, the back yard having a big pond and an old barn that's been there for god knows how long and Ann thinks it is an eyesore and was where Bridgit would spend time alone when she was not at Abigail’s. Now Abigail's house was more original, more antique and everything Bridgit loved having, antique furniture and old rug's that were imported from Asia covering some of the hardwood flooring. Abigail's room was what Bridgit loved the most, original dark hardwood flooring, black drapes, black furniture and paranormal portraits hanging on the walls of the room with candles of every color it seemed. Maybe that's why Bridgit liked it there so much, Abigail's front yard was as big as Bridgit's lined with tall boxed shrub's that led to the front door on an old cobblestone drive that ran into the walk way and three trees that stood out in the middle of the yard, in the back of the manor there was a pool that was built into the ground and a hot tub with a patio, a grill and chairs with some other yard toy's that's been there since Abigail was younger. Abigail was daring, as well and mild but she was faithful and a follower so she would pretty much do what Bridgit wanted to do.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER! "VenCo is funny, tense and cracking with a dark, divine energy." —Louise Erdrich, New York Times bestselling author of The Sentence "An absolute thrill ride of a book, a page-turner of the highest order." —Toronto Star From the bestselling author of Empire of Wild, a wickedly subversive, deliciously imaginative, deeply feminist novel of contemporary witches on the rise—a book that only the supremely gifted storyteller Cherie Dimaline could write. Lucky St. James, orphaned daughter of a bad-ass Métis good-times girl, is barely hanging on to her nowhere life when she finds out that she and her grandmother, Stella, are about to be evicted from their apartment. One night, dejectedly doing laundry in the building's dank basement, Lucky feels an irresistible something calling her. Crawling through a hidden hole in the wall, she finds a tarnished silver spoon depicting a storybook hag over letters that spell out S-A-L-E-M—a spoon whose otherwordly energy soon connects her to a teeming network of witches who have been anxiously waiting for her. Chief among them is Salem-born Meena Good, finder of a matching spoon. Under the wing of the international headhunting firm VenCo, devoted to placing exceptional women in influential jobs, Meena has been collecting these spoons, and the witches who found them, in order to former a magic circle that will restore women to their rightful power. But now, with only one more spoon to find, a roguish and deadly witch-hunter has Meena's coven in his sights. As the clock ticks toward a now-or-never deadline, Meena sends Lucky and her grandmother on a dangerous, sometimes hilarious, road trip in search of the seventh spoon. It ends in the darkly magical city of New Orleans and a final confrontation that will either usher in a new beginning or force witches to remain underground forever.
