Young Bessie and Bryant enjoy everything an old New England family has to offer: hereditary wealth, an historical home on Long Island Sound, generations of connections, an all-but-assured successful future. They have the world in the their hands as they enjoy the warm, calm summer water of the Sound on a Connecticut beach, preparing to go off to college in Montreal. Their idyllic life suddenly begins to unravel with the arrival of a new girl in town, a discovery in their parents' attic, and the unveiling of a familial curse that has pursued their forebears for centuries.
Bruce Mitchell was born in Massachusetts, the descendant of both early Puritan settlers and the first French to arrive in the New World. He shares his ancestors' thirst for adventure, spiritual fulfillment and their desire to reach new lands. Having spent his early adult years travelling and studying throughout Europe, North America, and Israel, he returned to his native New England fluent in several languages and well-versed in French & German literature. With multiple advanced degrees (Tufts University), a scholarly book, and several articles in his name , he has been devoting his talents to continue the long tradition of New England horror, with an Anlgo-Norse pagan twist.
