She tried to drown her mistake in a river. And ended up taking revenge on an entire town.

All the kids at Slaughter Elementary had the sense to steer clear of Old Lady Ketchel’s place. Everyone except for Bobby Briars. And for his folly, Bobby and his parents mysteriously disappeared. You see, Hagatha Ketchel had a bone to pick. Not just with foolish kids like Bobby Briars, but more specifically, with Enoch Slaughter, the self-appointed mayor of Slaughter, Minnesota.

Hagatha met Enoch as a shy, quiet, God-fearing teen working in her parent’s bakery. Over time, their relationship blossomed, culminating in marriage. Little did she know how their union would ultimately cause her descent into insanity. Fueling her transformation into a vengeful sorceress, bent on causing bedlam and destruction.

What was it that caused Hagatha’s transformation? And would Enoch and the residents of Slaughter survive the onslaught?

Old Lady Ketchel’s Revenge is the first book in the Slaughter, Minnesota horror series. For those readers who grew up near that one scary house that they didn’t dare pass or that strange neighbor they always tried to avoid.

Old Lady Ketchel's Revenge

Twenty-four years in an asylum is enough time to really lose your mind. And arouse one to unleash the dark and vengeful thoughts residing therein.

Hagatha Ketchel was beyond distraught. She was shunned and cast out by her husband for bearing him a daughter instead of a son. Hysterical, she did the unthinkable. And for it, she was committed to a mental institution.

They told Hagatha her stay there would help. They claimed that it was much more humane than other insane asylums. Yet, Hagatha’s hopes were dashed. She descended into a deeper and darker place—a place no one would ever want to go.

Hagatha did the only thing she could – she found a way to live with her demons. Not just exist with them but use them to her advantage. She may have seemed like the model patient when she was discharged after 24 years. But there was nothing therapeutic about her transformation.

Her extended incarceration was the genesis of Hagatha’s lethal plan and life-long commitment. Those who spurned her in the past hadn’t a clue of the calamity she was about to unleash.

Hagatha Ketchel Unhinged is the second book in the Slaughter Minnesota horror series. Join Hagatha in her descent into hell to appreciate how she became Slaughter’s most dreaded resident. If you grew up near that one scary house that you didn’t dare pass or that strange neighbor you always tried to avoid, this is a story for you.
