About Widow's Almanac
Widow's Almanac is an independent collection of researched story cards and printable guides about New England’s true, unsettling past.
Each edition follows the surviving record into forgotten poisonings, unresolved cases, vanished settlements, and other histories that resist a neat ending. The aim is atmosphere without invention and curiosity without sensationalism.
Every product is delivered digitally for reading on screen or printing at home, with source context included wherever the historical record allows.
