description: 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.
