“A devilishly good time.” – People
“An engrossing, compelling read.” – The Guardian (UK)
“Fantastic … Hendrix is a wizard at mixing together tropes of terror in thought-provoking ways.” –Minnesota Star Tribune

“Terrifying, darkly funny, moving, immersive, and deeply relevant—a page-turner that will keep you up until one in the morning. I devoured every page of it. Grady Hendrix is at the top of his game.” – Simone St. James, New York Times bestselling author of Murder Road
“Will delight fans new and old with his convincing rendering of characters juggling pregnancy and magic, childhood and adulthood, helplessness and power – and of course good and evil. Another nail-biter not to be missed!” – Tananarive Due, author of The Reformatory
“This book is so twisted and smart, it could hide behind a spiral staircase. It’s got such a warm beating heart, and it broke mine several times. As soon as I finished I wanted to start all over again.” – Catriona Ward, author of The Last House on Needless Street and Nowhere Burning
“Grady Hendrix again brings to life a fully realized ensemble of characters who you’ll cry with and root for while deftly molding the historical novel, the supernatural, and gritty, all-too real life horrors into a morally complex and genuinely haunting and moving tale. I couldn’t put it down once I started.” – Paul Tremblay, author of Horror Movie and The Cabin at the End of the World

“A magical look into the lives of teenage girls, of making the jump from powerlessness to power, of facing your fears and finding your coven.

Press this book into the hands of the young women you know.” – Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor
“Captivating from the start, Witchcraft for Wayward Girls takes readers on an incredible journey exploring female victimization and empowerment…that may or may not entail tapping into the dark magic within. A phenomenal read for witches everywhere!” – Carissa Orlando, author of The September House
