For fans of Lovecraft Country and Candyman comes a witchy story full of Black girl magic as one girl' s dark ability to summon the dead offers her a chance at a new life, while revealing to her an even darker future. Katrell can talk to the dead. And she wishes it made more money. She' s been able to support her unemployed mother-and Mom' s deadbeat-boyfriend-of-the-week-so far, but it isn' t enough. Money' s still tight, and to complicate things, Katrell has started to draw attention. Not from this world-from beyond. And it comes with a warning- STOP or there will be consequences. Katrell is willing to call the ghosts on their bluff; she has no choice. What do ghosts know of having sleep for dinner? But when her next summoning accidentally raises someone from the dead, Katrell realizes that a live body is worth a lot more than a dead apparition. And, warning or not, she has no intention of letting this lucrative new business go. Only magic isn' t free, and dark forces are coming to collect. Now Katrell faces a choice- resign herself to poverty, or confront the darkness before it' s too late.
