Here is the Novel Trailer for my new novel, THE DEVIL AND THE BLACKSMITH: AN AMERICAN FOLKLORE TALE by Jeanpaul Ferro. It is the classic retelling of the old standard The Devil and the Blacksmith set during and after the American Civil War.
A shadow creature approaches Nick Meriweather, a Pvt. in the First Cavalry of Rhode Island who is locked away as a POW after the First Battle of Bull Run inside the infamous Andersonville Confederate Prison Camp of Macon County, Georgia.
A deal is struck between the spirit creature and Nick that guarantees his safe return to his beloved wife, Freya, back in the idyllic New England village of Situate, Rhode Island. But like all things conceived under the cover of darkness things go sideways, a just war goes out of control, President Lincoln is murdered in mysterious circumstances, and the life of Nick's dear wife, Freya, comes to a tragic end, yet he still owes his life in a bargain he is bound to that he stuck with a devilish monster back at Andersonville.
His sisters, Astrid and Lizzie, try to intervene in their older brother's destructive behavior, but all the lies, ghosts, attempts at reanimation and resurrection, trickery, pleas, bargains, hauntings, and deception come to an abrupt head that ultimately leaves the entire idyllic Scituate Valley and the Meriweather farm in total ruins while an evil darkness is temporarily locked away in the stone tower of the old blacksmith forge that sits at the heart of their iconic Situate property.
The "true" tale of the lost villages of Scituate, Rhode Island and how even until this day these once iconic villages of Rockland, Ashland, Kent, Richmond, Wilbur Hollow, South Scituate, and Sandersonville rest sunken under a sea of blue water in one of the greatest catastrophes in New England history. Shhhh! It is an epic New England folklore tale akin to those of Mercy Brown, Edgar Allan Poe's last days, and the story of Charles Dexter Ward that no one is supposed to know or repeat.
