Ashmouth: A Novella

By Michael Turner

Witchcraft. Fire. Bloodlines that won't stay buried.

Twenty years after the last witch was burned in the town of Ashmouth, strange things are blooming in the woods.

Mercy was born the night her mother died by fire. Raised in secret, hidden from the town's wrath, she's always felt something pull at her from the trees-something ancient, something alive. When her adoptive mother falls ill, Mercy turns to nature for a cure... and the town begins whispering "witch" once more.

As paranoia spreads, an outsider returns-Benson Graves, once in love with the woman the town murdered, now faced with the truth he tried to leave behind: Mercy is his daughter.

When the mob comes again, Mercy won't burn.
This time, Ashmouth will.

Ashmouth is a chilling, atmospheric novella of folk horror, legacy, and vengeance-perfect for fans of gothic thrillers, supernatural mysteries, and dark historical fiction.
