The Witch: A brand-new, haunting thriller from Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid!

The Witch is a standalone psychological thriller with supernatural overtones by Freida McFadden. The novel follows Julia Barlow, who, after losing both her job and apartment, returns to Pemberton, her family's sprawling seventeenth-century estate in rural Massachusetts, to care for her aging grandmother and rebuild her life.

Instead of finding refuge, Julia encounters increasingly disturbing events. Every night, the estate's grandfather clock stops at 3:41 a.m., lights flicker inexplicably, and a mysterious voice calls for help outside her bedroom. As she investigates the mansion's dark past, Julia uncovers the story of a woman executed for witchcraft during the 1692 Salem witch trials and realizes that generations of buried family secrets may be tied to the haunting. The novel blends psychological suspense, gothic atmosphere, family mystery, and unexpected twists while exploring inherited trauma, buried truths, and the consequences of the past.
