Not the strongest Peter Saxon novel I've read, but still a pretty good read. I believe "Peter Saxon" was actually several different authors taking turns writing under that pseudonym so the books can vary - however if you like your horror pulp then they seldom disappoint.

The story is a simple tale of a young man who returns to his childhood home to exact vengeance upon the superstitious villagers responsible for burning his mother as a witch. The cover copy says it is "in the chilling tradition of Rosemary's Baby," but it is more in the lurid tradition of old Hammer films.
