Showing results for "dead man" in Historical

Boston, 1770: The city is a powder keg, as tensions between would-be rebels and loyalist Tories approach a breaking point, and one man is willing to light the match that sets everything off to ensure that he has his revenge.

In the autumn of 1684, two children find a dead man in a field. Within minutes, however, the dead man starts coming back to life.

Rather than running in terror, 11-year-old Joanna Spijker expresses an odd fascination with the newly revived young man, even bringing him home and giving him a new name: Vincent.
