Bytchcraft - Paperback

by Aaron Reese (Author), Lema Carril (Illustrator), Bex Glendining (Colorist)

Three modern witches must parlay with ancient gods and battle supernatural forces to stop a biblical entity from ascending to godhood, unaware their resistance plays perfectly into their enemy's plan.

Adriyel of the All-Seeing Eye, a pretentious oracle who speaks with the gods. Michele of Mother Earth's Flesh, a nature wytch with a tender heart. Em of the Living Hellfire, an emo necromancer with a sharp tongue. These three friends are bound together through magick and blood as a queer coven in New York, each following their own magickal path under the watchful eye of their spectral coven matriarch, MTHR.

When the coven accidentally sends all of New York into a supernatural eclipse and sends the magick of the city into imbalance, their presence is revealed to a religious zealot and their angelic beast of retribution. Not only that, they soon discover they are at the center of an ancient prophecy, and all of wytchkind hangs in the balance! Now, each of them must face the secrets of the past, present, and future in order to save the magick.

Created by the late Aaron Reese, Bytchcraft is a love letter to queer friendship, Black Magick, and the found families that sustain us. Enter the magickal world of Bytchcraft and remember - God Save the Wytch.
