Author Codie Crowley presents the true story of "Half-Hanged" Mary Webster, a woman accused of witchcraft in 1685. When the man who accused Mary suffered a mysterious death, the villagers tried to hang her – but she survived. How does Mary's incredible life and near-death connect to the witchcraft hysteria that would follow in Salem?
about author codie crowley
Codie Crowley once told a scary story that caused mass hysteria at a slumber party, and she’s been chasing that high ever since. When she isn't writing chilling fiction, she's probably out looking for ghosts in Salem, Massachusetts, where she lives with her husband, their cat, and a collection of creepy dolls.
Her debut novel, Here Lies a Vengeful Bitch, was released in August 2024 by Disney-Hyperion.
