Hex
by Thomas Olde Heuvelt
Whoever is born here is doomed to stay 'til death. Whoever settles, never leaves.
Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black
Rock Witch, a seventeenth century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Muzzled, she
walks the streets and enters homes at will. She stands next to children's beds for nights on end.
Everybody knows that her eyes may never be opened or the consequences will be too terrible to bear.
The elders of Black Spring have virtually quarantined the town by using high-tech surveillance to prevent their
curse from spreading. Frustrated with being kept in lockdown, the town's teenagers decide to break their strict regu-
lations and go viral with the haunting. But, in so doing, they send the town spiraling into dark, medieval practices of
the distant past.
The book is available at the library. Contact Amy @ the Library if you have any questions.
Since we’re going to be meeting in person, social distancing and masks will be required. Discussion will be held
outside so bring a lawn chair.
