A Conjuring for All Seasons
A Conjuring for All Seasons contains five dark novelettes from five practicing witches. Four seasonally themed tales based around important Wiccan celebrations join a Hoodoo story concerning the dead around All Hallows'. Magic Loves the Hungry by Hailey Piper A presence haunts Melody Langston. It grows bolder each night, as if preying on her anxiety-ridden complications with coven initiation, friends who are her ex-lovers, and the touch of overattentive authority.

Drawing Down the Sun by Stephanie M. Wytovich Protection is vit...

Black Girl Magic Lit Mag
"We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones." Stephen King Horror is a coping mechanism. Horror is a teacher, it teaches us what to be leery of, strange sounds, midnight callers, dark corners. Horror is a badge of honor, we give ourselves kudos telling each other we'd never be as dumb to open that door, go down those stairs, or answer that call. Horror is therapy and an escape from a world where the real horrors for Black people are just as atrocious as anything that people could dream up: cops shooting unarmed men and women in cold blood, children missing from inner cities with no public outcry, rapists getting slaps on the hands and pats on the back. An episode of American Horror Story stated "All Monsters are Human" and it's true, we are dealing with real life human monsters. The ability to sit back and read a scary story where the good guys get out alive or where we can tell ourselves we'd never be in this or that predicament is an act of self-care. So dig in and enjoy over forty-four thousand words of horror where the Black person doesn't die first!
