He's established a utopian community on an estate outside the town of Jeckyll's Glen, where the faithful wait, work, and pray for the world to end. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVernelia, Amy, and Catherine Charter are the three young townswomen whose father falls under the Reverend Fitcher's hypnotic sway. In their old house, where ghostly voices whisper from the walls, the girls are ruled by their stepmother, who is ruled in turn by the fiery preacher. Determined to spend Eternity as a married man, Fitcher casts his eye on Vernelia, and before much longer the two are wed. But living on the man's estate, separated from her family, Vern soon learns the extent of her husband's dark side. It's rumored that he's been married before, though what became of those wives she does not know. Perhaps the secret lies in the locked room at the very top of the house--the single room that the Reverend Fitcher has forbidden to her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by the classic fairy tales Bluebeard and The Fitcher Bird, this dark fantasy is set in New York State's Burned-Over District, at its time of historic religious ferment. All three Charter sisters will play their part in the story of Fitcher's Utopia: a story of faith gone wrong, and evil coun-tered by one brave, true soul.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGregory Frost\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several well-received novels, including the fantasies \u003ci\u003eTain, Renscela\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLyrec\u003c\/i\u003e, and the SF novel \u003ci\u003eThe Pure Cold Light\u003c\/i\u003e.
