Witch of the Red Thorn

By Maria DeVivo

Three years after the Salem Witch Trials, a new evil awakens to terrorize an unsuspecting town.
The residents of New Haven Harbor, Massachusetts think they've escaped the madness of the Salem Witch Trials, but when a new Reverend is dispatched to their church to take over for their aging vicar, they soon realize the darkness is far from over. Dutiful Christian wife Barbara Flynn is immediately affected by the new pastor's presence. Intense thoughts and feelings she has never experienced before stir inside, drawing her close to the strange man.
When a series of grisly occurrences tear through the town, Barbara and the new Reverend join together to wade through the carnage. But on their journey, Barbara soon discovers she is part of a larger design - a plan that has been in the making since the dawn of time. As shadows loom over the quiet seaside town, the simple townsfolk grow frightened. Fear soon turns to anger as fingers point in every direction to snuff out the source who has once again brought witchcraft into their midst.
Can Barbara control the demons within her to assure the town’s safety? Or will the mob force Barbara and the new Reverend to atone for the sinister magic devouring New Haven Harbor?
Reader Advisory: Witch of the Red Thorn contains violence, gore, Satanic rituals, and graphic sexual situations
