17th Century Hallowtide was a time when new ideas and old practices clashed. Communities tore themselves apart with religion, tradition and superstition. It is All Hallows’ Eve, Halloween. I want to share two chapters from God’s Vindictive Wrath with you. I hope you will enjoy the different perspectives on death and the afterlife as the characters struggle to come to terms with terrible reality of the Battle of Edgehill in the autumn mud of 1642.
If you want more, you can read the opening chapters of God’s Vindictive Wrath for free on this website. Alternatively, try the short story at FREE eBook. I hope you will enjoy both.
