Synopsis

A spellbinding collection of 20 original spooky tales that reimagine witches from folklore, myth, and history. Read them before bedtime or share them to spook your friends—if you dare!

“Deliciously terrifying.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A gleefully spooky anthology….good for anyone young or old wanting new takes on scary stories that can be shared around a campfire, in the dead of night, or before bedtime….holds readers captive in both words and imagery.” —School Library Journal

A girl receives a Christmas gift far worse than coal. A strange sideshow lures in new recruits. A birthday party turns into a grisly scavenger hunt. A werewolf stalks a ghostly graveyard. A train ride proves quite deadly. These stories are as enchanting as they are eerie, shining a light on the magical world of these legendary witches.

Features stories inspired by Baba Yaga, Marie Laveau, Circe, the Salem Witch Trials, La Lechuza, and more, all brought to life through gorgeous full-color illustrations.

More Accolades

“Enchanting illustrations accompany each story, highlighting uncanny moments of contact between the magical and mundane worlds….And following each story, a description of the mythological or folkloric witch that served as inspiration is included….In the imaginative short story collection A Coven of Witches, witches from folklore are fleshed out in fresh settings.”—Foreword Reviews
