About the Book

From #1 New York Times, #1 USA Today, and internationally bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a sharp, unsettling thriller about two women, past and present, united by the grounds of an estate and one deadly question: the danger that haunts them, is it magic – or madness?

After losing her job and her apartment, Julia Barlow retreats to her family’s ancestral estate in Massachusetts—a sprawling seventeenth-century mansion known as Pemberton. But what she expects to be a quiet refuge quickly turns sinister. Because the grandfather clock stops every night at 3:41 a.m. The lights won’t stop flickering. And someone—or something—keeps crying outside her bedroom door.

As Julia digs into the house’s history, she uncovers the story of Caroline Eldridge, a young wife accused of witchcraft in 1692 and burned at the stake. And when Julia finds human bones buried in the backyard, she realizes her great-aunt is hiding more than family folklore and the lines between past and present might be far blurrier than she thinks.

Told through interwoven narratives of colonial terror and modern unease, The Witch is a chilling tale of inherited guilt, buried crimes, and the women whose voices refuse to stay silent. Part ghost story and part psychological mystery, here, every haunting hides a confession, and every truth demands a sacrifice.
