Union is the location that was known before Shadyside and Sunnyvale. After the death of Sarah Fier at the hands of the villagers who accused her of witchcraft, Union was divided. It is the location of Cyrus Miller's Massacre. Many residents are ancestors of those who would go on to have descendants within Shadyside and Sunnyvale such as the Goode's and the Berman family.
It was mentioned in Fear Street Part 2: 1978 and appeared in Fear Street Part 3: 1666.
History[]
Prior to being divided, Union was home to Sarah Fier and other settlers. Before 1666, a man named Cyrus Miller became the town pastor, going on to marry a woman where he would father a daughter whom he named Hannah Miller. In the same time period, Solomon Goode would marry a woman and father his own child but would go on to be widowed.
In 1666, Solomon murdered The Widow, a woman who was the owner of The Grimoire, a book that contained access to dark witchcraft to which Solomon used to his advantage, using it to start a ritualistic pact with Satan in which he would then sacrifice Cyrus to the Devil. Once the ritual was done, Cyrus murdered most of the Union's children.
Wanting the power for himself and his descendants, Solomon convinced Union that the killings were that of the Devil and that Sarah had been the one to make the pact, the townspeople believed him and Sarah was killed whereas Solomon went on to continue with the ritual, teaching it to his firstborn sons who would continue the pact before it was stopped in 1994 by Deena Johnson with the death of Nick Goode.
