In 1911 a woman named Zsuzsanna Fazekas, who would come to be called Aunt Suzy, arrived in the small village of Negyrev, Hungary. She had seemingly no past or family ties, but quickly established herselfe as the local midwife and confidant of the women of Negyrev. Soon, Suzy was holding court, helping the local women take care of their troubles, and bearing many secrets. Over the next decade estimated 300 people died under mysterious circumstances, and all signs pointed back to Aunt Suzy’s simple solutions.
