Creole Conjure

An ANI Bestseller

Welcome to New Orleans, my dear tourist, friend. You're in for a ride. 

"So much of the brutal, beautiful magic of Christina Rosso's Creole Conjure is in its intricate details and how deftly they weave themselves together into a seductively monstrous, fairytale tapestry . . . women and girls find themselves both freed and dammned by their own bestial appetites. You can't be certain from one moment to the next who will be devouring whom." —Lindsay Lusby, author of Catechesis: a postpastoral

"With witches, with sirens, with a profound darkness and buoyant light these tales will entrench you in the most wonderful kind of chaos.” —Charlie J. Eskew, author of Tales of the Astonishing Black Spark

Every city has a story and, behind the veil of tourism, New Orleans drips with hunger, sorcery, and secrets. Just outside the city limits lies Honey Island Swamp, a powerful nexus of magic, a gateway between the realms of the living, the dead, and the in-between. Creole Conjure guides you through the alligator swamps and the streets of New Orleans as you're entangled in the tales of witches, mortals, and other magical beings that draw power from this enchanted and, sometimes, cursed place. 

Christina Rosso (she/they) is a writer, educator, and bookstore owner living outside of Philadelphia with her bearded husband and rescue pups. She is the author of Creole Conjure (Maudlin House, 2021) and She Is A Beast (APEP Publications, 2020), and the owner of A Novel Idea on Passyunk. When Christina isn’t teaching or working at the bookstore, she reads tarot and casts spells under the full moon. For more information, visit http://christina-rosso.com.
