'The Black Spider' by Jeremias Gotthelf

A masterpiece of German literature, 'The Black Spider' should work well for our Spooky Season meeting. This short novel fits into the category of 'folk horror'.
MILD SPOILER: During a peaceful christening celebration at a farmhouse in the Emmental valley of Switzerland, a guest notices a single blackened window post that looks out of place. The story of the post is woven into a broader tale of Satanic evil.
I did tinker a little with the poll--and I admit it! I wanted this month's novel to be a little more traditional after our September Pynchon.
