It’s not a horror novel, but it is ghoulish. It’s fiction, but it’s closely based upon the historical record. Connecticut, 1837: Cabinetmaker’s apprentice Thomas Sullivan deals with the sting of his father’s rejection while an epidemic rages about the countryside. As the disease takes members of his master’s home, Thomas helps the Shaffer family through bizarre cures, lost treasure, and an unsolved murder. Eventually, he meets up with the Night Waster, the diabolical nocturnal stalker. $2.99 on Kindle.
