Informazioni su questo ebook
In this dark retelling of "Bluebeard" and "The Fitcher Bird," three sisters are drawn into a charismatic preacher's apocalyptic cult in 1843 New York.
The year is 1843, and Elias Fitcher, a mesmerizing preacher, has established a utopian community in New York State's Finger Lakes district. Vernelia, Amy, and Catherine Charter, three young women from the nearby town of Jeckyll's Glen, find their lives upended when their father falls under Fitcher's hypnotic sway. Ruled by their stern stepmother and the fiery preacher, the girls are trapped in a house where ghostly whispers echo from the walls.
Determined to secure a wife for Eternity, Fitcher sets his sights on Vernelia. After their hasty marriage, Vern moves to her husband's estate, separated from her family. There, she discovers the depths of Fitcher's darkness and the rumored fates of his previous wives. The truth may lie behind the locked door of the estate's forbidden room—the one place Fitcher has denied her access.
Set during a time of historic religious ferment in the "Burned-Over District," Fitcher's Brides is a haunting tale of faith gone wrong and the strength of one true soul to confront evil. Inspired by classic fairy tales, this dark fantasy navigates the perils of arranged marriage, religious revival, and the secrets lurking in a haunted house.
