Whoever is born in Black Spring is doomed to stay until death. Whoever settles there never leaves.
The town looks idyllic, nestled in the Hudson Valley, but its streets belong to the Black Rock Witch—a seventeenth-century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Muzzled, she wanders through kitchens, bedrooms, and children’s dreams, her presence a warning never to look upon her face.
Desperate to contain the curse, the elders of Black Spring monitor every movement through hidden cameras and strict rules. But when restless teenagers defy the town’s silence, their rebellion awakens something far older and far more terrifying.
Praised by Stephen King and George R.R. Martin, HEX marks Thomas Olde Heuvelt’s electrifying English-language debut in modern horror.
