Virginia Colony, 1763. A murder in the woods. A woman accused. Following his discharge from the bloody French and Indian Wars, Dr. Ellis Swift is commissioned to treat a young woman suffering from a mysterious mental ailment in the small hamlet of Hollowbrook, Virginia. Some say Penelope Braye is a a witch, some say she's possessed by the devil, some say she's mad. But everyone in the village can agree, Penny has a connection to a series of murders in the haunted Hollowbrook woods. As a man of learning, Ellis doesn't subscribe to the small-town legends about ghosts and witchcraft. But as Halloween approaches and evil creeps into the village, it's clear that there is something dark at work in the woods. Penny's past might be the key to solving the mystery. For lovers of Poe and Daphne Du Maurier, this short, fun Gothic tale is not to be missed!
