Coven of the East is a Herorine's Journey through the Major Arcana, celebrating feminine power.

Let's celebrate each card, archetype, and contributor: Benebell Wen is renowned for her work on East Asian mysticism. Her essay "Reclaiming the Witches Path," represents our potential.

"Authors of the stories in [Coven of the East] explore their ancestors's practices and their cultural background through fiction and non-fiction, showing how rich and diverse #witchcraft is when we move our sight from Europe and the US to other parts of the world." Goodreads Review #booksky #magic

"Coven of the East is a reclamation, an incantation and a dare. It asks you to believe in what has been hidden and to honor the women who carried those truths despite systems that tried to bury them. More than anything, it insists that silence is over." -BookTrib Review

I enjoyed the hell out of Feeding The Wheel @michaelboulerice.bsky.social. The characters were so distinct in their personalities: one jerk and one complicit jerk. It's a story about asking for too much, not asking enough questions, and finally letting go. [more on Goodreads] #tbr #horror #mustread

@cohalloran.bsky.social is an author of dark fiction and president of @howlsociety.bsky.social. His novel "Pushing Daisy" is a haunting exploration of grief and toxic relationships. I loved his portrayal of flawed characters, which is also my favorite way to write stories!

Kathleen Palm @kathleenpalm.bsky.social writes scary stories to help us face our fears and become strong. I am glad she didn't become a ballerina and instead wrote the "Nowhere Series" -> Book 2 "Within the Black" releases Nov 2025!
