About this listen

In The Scarlet Thread, Nathanial J. Blackthorne crafts a gripping tale of Bridget Bishop, the first woman executed in the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. Set against the fog of 1640s England and the paranoia of colonial Salem, this historical novel traces Bridget’s life through defiance, superstition, and a mysterious red thread—a charm from her mother, a midwife burned as a witch. Bridget’s spirit was a defiant echo in a town scarred by its own madness, in a tale of resilience and vengeance, The Scarlet Thread unveils the cost of fear and the power of a woman unbowed.
