Wither » (Reprint)

J. G. Passarella is a screenwriter and novelist. He was born and raised outside Philadelphia, where he currently resides with his wife and two young children. Wither is his first novel.

The college town of Windale, Massachusetts is proud of its colonial heritage—including the legend of a dark witches' coven dating back three hundred years. No one in Windale actually believes in witches, or imagines that the blood-chilling history of the Salem era could repeat itself. But three people, unknown to one another, are experiencing vivid nightmares of palpable horror. They alone can sense that a dreadful presence is working its way into their waking lives—and is coming for them.

On a crisp autumn night deep in the New England woods, a young woman's harmless channeling ritual unwittingly opens the floodgates to terrifying forces that have, until then, lived only in dreams: a breed of demonic creatures with the power to shatter an unsuspecting town.
