Opis

Tennessee, 1820 The Cain Witch has been an American Legend that has sparked the imaginations of people though the ages. No one is certain of the identity of the Cain Witch nor why she choose to terrorize the Cain family from 1817-1820. Even stranger, the haunting ended abruptly in the spring of 1820 with no explanation, until now. A recently uncovered diary of Jack Cain Jr. dated 1828 offers new insights into the Cain Witch legend. It includes accounts of Andrew Jackson's visit to the farm as well as insights into the never reported gathering of witch hunters to face off against the Cain Witch. This diary also reveals her to go by the name "Miranda," another detail revealed for the first time. Miranda's motives and strange powers are examined in detail by Jack Cain Jr. as he recounts abuse to his family, especially his sister, Lissy. The diary also offers the first glimpse into the enigmatic witch hunters, never mentioned in any recount of the tale before now. Charles Sicard of Louisiana, Brothers Frank and Dean Colt of Ohio, Ezekiel Brister of Kentucky, Isaac Burns of Maryland, Ulysses Hess of Germany, and Donald Nobel of England converge on the Cain Farm and face off against Miranda. Some will not return the same, if at all. This diary offers insights, details, and stories never included in the Cain Witch legend before now. What happens might cause readers to question Jack Cain's sanity, but it also invites a new perspective to this enigmatic story. The Badlands: Before the Shadow series is a series of short novels intended to provide details of adventures that occurred well before the Badlands series. While not directly a part of the series, it is set within the same universe and backdrop as Badlands at different times and settings. The purpose of the series is to offer a more expanded view of the legends, myths, and stories of Badlands
