The Coven Conspiracy
| Youngblood Hawke
| Sutters Hamlet, North Carolina – an ideal place for Joanna Crawford, a harried New Yorker, to recharge her energies and do some serious painting in the old backwoods cabin she had rented. “But wasn’t it strange that the villagers were so unreasonably hostile, that there was all this talk about witches and witchcraft? Even the one friend she was able to make, himself an “outsider,” wrote books on legends and folklore.
All her overtures toward friendliness were rebuffed – and then it started. First there were those hooded, black –robed people who circled the cabin. Then there was the voodoo doll she found impaled on her bed - with her own hair on is misshapen head. And then there was the mysterious painting which suddenly appeared, and which looked different every morning. Finally, there was the story of a witch who had once live there, who was able to turn herself into a fox –and who looked so much like Joanna.
Overriding her terror was the sickening realization that the villagers believed her to be the daughter of the fox-witch, and that they planned to kill her. And the only way Joanna could escape from their mass insanity would prove that she was indeed a witch.
