Description
Eighteen-year-old Merricat may, or may not be, a mass murdererSix years ago everyone in the Blackwood family was poisoned by sugar laced with arsenic - everyone, that is, apart from Merricat and her elder sister Constance.

Whether by practical or magical means, Merricat will do whatever is necessary to protect their home.
