"The Familiars: A Novel" by Stacey Halls Set against the backdrop of the Pendle witch trials of 1612 in England, a young girl named Fleetwood Shuttleworth is in her fourth pregnancy. Her first three ended in miscarriages, and she is desperate to provide her husband with an heir. When she discovers a letter from her physician to her husband that she wasn't supposed to read, she learns that the doctor believes she will not survive another pregnancy. Desperate to prove him wrong, she elicits the help of a local midwife, Alice Gray, who also is thought to be involved in witchcra. Will she be able to help Fleetwood before the witch trials destroy her and the other accused? "Clown in a Cornfield" by Adam Cesare Teens in the tiny, boring town of Kettle Springs find themselves caught in a battle between old and new, tradition and progress, and it just may cost them their lives. e adults want to make Kettle Springs great again (have we heard that before?), but the kids just want to have fun and leave Kettle Springs behind as soon as they can. Enter a creepy clown mascot who goes homicidal and decides the only way to bring back the old Kettle Springs is to cull the town of the youth who want to change it. Scared yet? Intrigued enough to explore some of these horror/comedy, thrillers, cosmic horror, sci-fi horror or Gothic novels? I hope so. What a great way to expand your reading horizons and divert your attention for awhile from all that is going on around us.
