Wieland

If Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen left you craving an older, deeper root of the same dread - family bonds warped by faith, an isolated compound where trust curdles into violence - Charles Brockden Brown got there in 1798. If you're coming to this from Something Very Bad Happen, this book carries related themes and emotional stakes in a distinct story.

Wieland follows a tight-knit household in rural Pennsylvania as mysterious voices, religious fanaticism, and an unsettling outsider erode every certainty the family holds.
