Bacchanal

- Reviews -

"Henry skillfully layers historical realism with fantastic elements to explore the way times of desperation test the ethics of oppressed communities. Henry is a writer to watch. " -Publishers Weekly"[Bacchanal is] gorgeous while somehow never losing sight of the need to unsettle. It captures a sense of wonder and reminds you that too much curiosity can lead to danger. And most importantly, it' s Black and never lets you forget it. If you want endearing characters, a charming setting, and characters that refuse to bend to the world' s injustices then Bacchanal is the book for you. " -FIYAH Magazine"Writer Veronica Henry pulls on a mix of African folklore, Black histories, and carnival culture to weave a story of mesmerizing, bizarre, and dangerous magic. With a heroine of unique powers and a cast as colorful as any sideshow, this story offers up its share of delights, adventure, and frights! Welcome to Bacchanal. Enjoy the sights. Hope you make it out alive!" -P. Djeli Clark, author of Ring Shout, The Haunting of Tram Car 015, and The Black God' s Drums"Readers won' t want their travels with the seductive and dangerous Bacchanal Carnival to end. Veronica Henry' s debut impeccably conjures the 1930s and marks the bold entrance of a vital new voice in modern fantasy. " -Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author of Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds"If you took The Night Circus and viewed it through the gaze of a young Black woman in the Great Depression, you might get Veronica Henry' s Bacchanal. Demons, lies, and secrets. " -Mary Robinette Kowal, Hugo award-winning author of The Calculating Stars
