Fitcher's Brides by Gregory Frost (2002)

From the amazing Fairy Tale series by Terri Windling. This one is a retelling of Bluebeard set in the 1800s among a doomsday cult led by a very charismatic preacher. Although some of the conventions of the original tale don't serve the retelling as well as I'd like, such as the personalities of the three sisters who marry Bluebeard, this book is one of those that just stayed with me. Plus, the story of Bluebeard is always fascinating, and I never remember the name of this book.
