Pre-Orders are open. Pub date is December 8th!

From hoodoo spells to celestial skies, haunted homes to living museums, eighteen emerging and established Black woman storytellers conjure dark bargains, strange transformations, and futures worth claiming.

A Black woman professor is tracked by campus surveillance. A daughter forced into hoodoo learns her mother owes a debt. A Kansas mother watches her son change after a strange pup's bite. A girl made from her mother's light seeks freedom among the stars.

A spaceship salon owner fights to keep her doors open. A bride-to-be finds her father inside the house that has been eating him for decades. In 1934, a teenage girl hunts a boar that preys on young men. A granddaughter uncovers the hidden price of a family ritual.

A West Oakland house rebels against its sale. A ruler-in-waiting seeks a witch's counsel. In Victorian London, a gentleman seeks a Jamaican witch. A girl learns the truth about an outsider's stories. Trouble spares one strange girl but collects from everyone nearby.

Monuments to America's oppressors begin to transform. An artist suspects a museum's lifelike sculptures were once people...could she be next?

…and more stories.
