Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Fear the hunter, never the witch. ​A spirit wanders the Scottish moors, desperate for answers. An Empress and her mistress seek revenge in the Chinese Imperial Court. A Black freewoman scavenges for truth in the bodies of Confederate soldiers. A damsel flees to a convent to escape a knight-in-obsessive-armor. Across every manner of time and place, women have been labelled crazy. Hysterical. Witches. To be labelled a witch was once a death sentence. Persecuted for existing and condemned if they dared to speak out of turn, women were unjustly hanged and burned in the name of patriarchal justice. The label remains a way for those in power to discredit and disenfranchise empowered women. But there is power in defiance. There is power in reclamation. There is power in embracing one's inner witch. With a foreword by author M.B. Thurman, Curses, Charms & Other Enchantments presents 9 stories of feminine love, rage, and empowerment, all imbued with the magic of witchcraft-tales of cursed women, charming smiles, and enchanted ever-afters.​
