Showing Black Creek Crossing by John Saul

Witchcraft, dark secrets, and a centuries-old curse all converge in Black Creek Crossing, making for one of bestselling author John Saul’s spookiest thrillers yet.

The cycle of abuse is a hard one to break. For thirteen-year-old Angel Sullivan, moving to Black Creek Crossing is an opportunity to escape the bullies who made life miserable at her old school. Little does Angel know, her family’s new home has seen its fair share of darkness. A mother and daughter who lived in the house when it was built in the 1600s were burned as witches, and their malevolent presence has touched all who have stayed there since. Angel connects to this history through a black cat she finds hiding in one of the closets and a book of spells that gives her the key to retaliate against any would-be tormentors. Of course, such gifts come with a price. As Angel finds new power through the witches’ secrets, her alcoholic father becomes further unhinged. The violence that Angel hoped to outrun has now settled under her very own roof, and it’s up to her to figure out how to stop it once and for all.
