Known today as King Philip’s War (after the primary Indian war leader), the conflict stretched from 1675 to 1678 and was the subject of several important Puritan works, among them the Rev. While some questioned the veracity of the initial reports, the unrest quickly flared into a broad and bloody armed conflict. The reports told of lightning raids on towns by hundreds of warriors, barns and houses burned to the ground, farmers tomahawked in their fields, colonial militia columns wiped out in ambushes, women and children taken captive, and worse. In 1675, some 55 years after English separatists later known as the Pilgrims had founded Plymouth Colony (in present-day Massachusetts), newsletters began appearing in London describing horrible atrocities committed by Indians against the New England settlers.

Brief Summary of Book: Who Is Maud Dixon? by Alexandra Andrews ‘The chemistry sizzles off the page’ Netgalley review What readers are saying about Suzanne Wright: Time is running out – will Piper, used to putting everyone else first, learn to fight for what – and who – she wants? They are cold, ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve their twisted ends. Then an old terror appears from Levi’s past – a serial killer everyone had believed was dead. The whole thing is like a bad dream – and Piper knows all about them since she’s a Nightmare, a demon with the ability to trap people in their worst memories forever. Neither Piper nor Levi are used to needing anyone, the crackling attraction between them is making both their demons crazy and to make matters worse, Piper’s narcissistic stepsister is Levi’s ex – and she’s not ok with this situation. But it’s not until her psyche brushes his in an unguarded moment that they both realise: they are anchors. With his broad, muscular frame and gunmetal grey gaze he makes a statement without saying a word. He’s the kind of man who it’s impossible to ignore. The next sizzling paranormal romance in Suzanne Wright’s globally bestselling The Dark in You series It’s an enjoyably odd place to live in for a while. Her work is strongest when depicting the inner landscape of an imaginative, anxious child who’s full of passion (especially for the Sears catalog), terror, wonderment, and weird games. Periodically, adult Axelle answers “reader questions” when someone asks why young Axelle’s thoughts are so mature, for instance, she explains, “Even though a kid doesn’t have an adult’s vocabulary, they experience the same range of emotions and sensitivity.” Lenoir periodically interjects her expressive two-tone cartoons and maniacal character drawing (which look like a more cartoony version of Sophie Campbell’s Wet Moon) with flashes of color (and child’s crayon drawings) and hints at the parallel universe in which she’s a boy with human parents (presumably he’s the cosmic twin). 8, leaving a path of destruction and forcing tens of thousands of residents to evacuate their homes. She fears that her parents-drawn with oversize, blacked-out, almond-shaped eyes-are aliens. The Camp Fire in Northern California erupted Nov. Axelle, with a partially shaved head and ripped jeans, opens her narration with the revelation that her “cosmic twin died.” Most of these pages, however, are devoted to her first grade year, which she spends watching cartoons, arguing with her brothers, resenting school, and developing a love-hate relationship with the forest near her home. Capturing the wild strangeness of childhood with fantastical meta-narrative touches, Lenoir ( Camp Spirit) sets the stage for an autofiction multiverse in this series launch. Meanwhile, Earth itself teeters on the brink of its own global catastrophe as the very survival of humanity hangs in the balance….
