Six years after four members of the family perished of arsenic poisoning, the three left over Blackwoods--elder, agoraphobic sister Constance, wheelchair-bound Uncle Julian, and eighteen-year-old Mary Katherine, or, Merricat--live together in enjoyable isolation. Merricat has developed an idiosyncratic system of rules and defensive magic to protect the house against intrusions from hostile villagers. But 1 day a stranger arrives--cousin Charles, along with his eyeball on the Blackwood fortune--and handles to penetrate to their carefully shielded lives. Unable to drive him away by either polite or occult means, Merricat adopts more desperate methods, resulting in crisis, tragedy, and the revelation of an awful secret.
