by Bari Wood

A swarm of bees stings a man to death, another is eaten alive by ticks. The victims have one thing in common, they offended Myra Ludens. Is she causing those deaths, or is she the conduit for Goody Redman, a witch hanged 300 years ago and buried under her house? The setting is Connecticut.
