Bad Witch Burning

For fans of Lovecraft Country and Candyman, this chilling supernatural novel blends Black girl magic, horror, and suspense as one teenager’s extraordinary gift becomes both her greatest opportunity and her greatest curse.

Katrell has always been able to talk to the dead. Unfortunately, communicating with ghosts doesn’t pay enough to support her struggling family. With an unemployed mother and a revolving cast of her mother’s unreliable boyfriends, Katrell is desperate to keep earning money—despite ominous warnings from spirits who tell her to stop before it’s too late.

Ignoring the threats, Katrell pushes her gift further than ever before. But when one of her séances accidentally brings someone back to life instead of simply summoning a ghost, she realizes she’s stumbled upon something far more valuable—and far more dangerous.

Determined to turn her newfound power into a profitable business, Katrell refuses to walk away. But every miracle comes with a price, and the darker forces watching her are about to collect.
