Grady Hendrix celebrates WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS #BNMiddayMystery

About this Event

Join Barnes & Noble as we welcome New York Times bestselling author of How To Sell A Haunted House, Grady Hendrix, on Tuesday, January 14 at 3 PM ET for a live, virtual performance of WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS(B&N Exclusive Edition) for our B&N Midday Mystery Virtual Event series.

Are witches old ladies who live in candy houses and eat children? Are they naked maidens dancing in a circle and celebrating the moon? Are they riding broomsticks to a black mass where they’ll worship Satan, or being dragged to a gallows where they’ll be hung after false accusations? Hendrix celebrates the release of WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS(B&N Exclusive Edition) by taking a wild flight into the blackest night as we investigate the world of witchcraft in books and movies and witness an army of broomstick-brandishing, curse-hurling, baby-eating, world-renouncing, unkillable, unstoppable, unbeatable witches!

BONUS!: This special WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS(B&N Exclusive Edition) features a cover with an alternate colorway and special effects, plus exclusive new material from Hendrix, including an introduction to the book and an essay on the history of homes for unwed mothers.

ABOUT WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS:

They call them wayward girls. Loose girls. Girls who grew up too fast. And they’re sent to the Wellwood House in St. Augustine, Florida, where unwed mothers are hidden by their families to have their babies in secret, give them up for adoption, and most important of all, to forget any of it ever happened.

Fifteen-year-old Fern arrives at the home in the sweltering summer of 1970, pregnant, terrified and alone. Under the watchful eye of the stern Miss Wellwood, she meets a dozen other girls in the same predicament. There’s Rose, a hippie who insists she’s going to find a way to keep her baby and escape to a commune. And Zinnia, a budding musician who plans to marry her baby’s father. And Holly, a wisp of a girl, barely fourteen, mute and pregnant by no-one-knows-who.

Everything the girls eat, every moment of their waking day, and everything they’re allowed to talk about is strictly controlled by adults who claim they know what’s best for them. Then Fern meets a librarian who gives her an occult book about witchcraft, and power is in the hands of the girls for the first time in their lives. But power can destroy as easily as it creates, and it’s never given freely. There’s always a price to be paid...and it’s usually paid in blood.

In Witchcraft for Wayward Girls, the author of How to Sell a Haunted House and The Final Girl Support Group delivers another searing, completely original novel and further cements his status as a “horror master” (NPR).
