Abaddon
Tortured and mutilated, the witches of Salem went screaming to their deaths.
For almost 300 years their souls writhed in exquisite agony, helpless to act.
Then the boy came. He was young, trusting...receptive to their boundless hatred; an empty vessel waiting to be filled with the burning poison of their revenge.
Like a plague rat, he carried their contagion from victim to victim, infecting minds, corrupting bodies, and condemning souls to everlasting torment.
Beware his luminous green eyes, for they radiate sickness and death, beware this foul...child of Salem....

Master of suspense and bone-chilling terror, Robert W. Walker, BS and MS in English Education, Northwestern University, has penned 44 novels and has taught language and writing for over 25 years. Showing no signs of slowing down, he is currently juggling not one but three new series ideas, and has completed a film script and a TV treatment. Having grown up in Chicago and having been born in the shadow of the Shiloh battlefield, near Corinth, Mississippi, Walker has two writing traditions to uphold--the Windy City one and the Southern one--all of which makes him uniquely suited to write City for Ransom and its sequels, Shadows in White City and City of the Absent. His Dead On will be published in July 2009. Walker is currently working on a new romantic-suspense-historical-mainstream novel, titled Children of Salem. In 2003 and 2004 Walker saw an unprecedented seven novels released on the "unsuspecting public," as he puts it. Final Edge, Grave Instinct, and Absolute Instinct were published in 2004. City of the Absent debuted in 2008 from Avon. Walker lives in Charleston, West Virginia.

I liked this story. It had a different angle to it. It gave some history into the Salem witch trials with a twist. I felt bad for Richard Crim. He had it bad as a child and then as an adult. I liked Stephen Price and Amelia Salton together. Spark & tension. This would make a good movie.

Interesting story, good read, but some strange facts that I am not sure if they were intentional or not, relating to Wiccans. Lots of typos which threw me off.

It was a good idea but there were so many typos, I had a hard time getting through it. It's only 250 pages long, but it took me a week to read it
