Delusion, Or The Witch Of New England

By Eliza Buckminster Lee

Book Overview

A haunting invitation into early New England where fear and faith collide. Delusion, Or The Witch Of New England threads a tense, morally charged atmosphere through colonial shores and Puritan strictures, inviting readers to question what they call superstition and what they call truth. This historical gothic novella-crafted with piercing sense of place and psychological tension-offers more than chills. It weaves themes of delusion and belief, witchcraft and communal suspicion, and the quiet terror of a society policing every thought. The result is a tightly wrought drama that rewards both casual readers and classic-literature collectors with its austere beauty, sharp moral questions, and enduring sense of unease. Historically significant for its portrait of Puritan era morality and New England life, the work stands as a noteworthy bridge between early American gothic fiction and the broader tradition that includes Edgar Allan Poe. It will appeal to gothic fiction readers, historical novel enthusiasts, academic study readers, and library collection buyers seeking a rare, culturally resonant piece from colonial America. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's audiences and for future generations. It is more than a reprint-it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, inviting renewed study, renewed wonder, and renewed reverence for a pivotal American voice in the shadowy corners of history.
