The year is 1689. Situated on the northern boundary of the Massachusetts Bay colony, the town of Cold Marsh is a place of secrets, a village characterized by terror and guilt. Two young women have vanished under mysterious circumstances, and the country seethes with rumors of witchcraft and devilry. Even their God has abandoned them. When a third young woman disappears, the men of Cold Marsh determine to leave the safety of the village and enter the other world of the woods in search of her. Revenants is a lyrical evocation of the colonial landscape, a poetic meditation on the hills and wilds of that vanished country. It also brings back to life, with breathing intimacy, the inner landscape of sombre repression known to the settlers of New England.… (meer)

Would pair perfectly with other solid works I'll call "Puritan fiction," such as The Scarlet Letter,The Minister's Black Veil, and Ethan Frome. Not necessarily because of the sinister and cold New England setting (though that is present here, to astonishingly great effect), but because of the themes of guilt, old secrets, and curdled theology that run through these books. Mills steeps the reader in guilt and fear, along with wonder and horror and that sick cold sweat of old sin. (

Revenants contains elements of the weird, mystery, and horror but it doesn't really excel at any of these aspects in particular. Nonetheless, Mr. Mills is clearly a writer to watch: but for a few balance issues and a failure to fully capitalize on the tension created in the first half of the book, Revenants would have been an excellent read.
