Gothic, dark and utterly enthralling, this is a world I wanted to sink into and never leave. I adored this book.

The Year of the Witching tells a universal, timeless story about women's power.

The perfect dark, witchy escape to make you feel a little better about the world we live in now.

Alexis Henderson is giving us dark magic, Black witches, creepy woods and small religious towns, historical realness, and I'm here for it.

This is an intensely dark read and one of the most original books I've read in a long time.

Henderson blends the supernatural with the real, expertly and ingeniously using dark witchcraft, sigils, and magical plagues to weave in real world themes and issues like racism, the oppression and silencing of women, and religious abuse.

This is one of the best, righteously angriest books I've read this year, and I cannot recommend it enough.
