Stephanie Feldman and Hester Fox take readers into the mysterious and sometimes sinister worlds of witches and the occult. In Feldeman’s Saturnalia, Nina, who left Philadelphia’s elite Saturn Club three years earlier, is pulled back in when she uncovers secret societies battling for power as the world balances on the edge of an apocalypse. Author Daryl Gregory says “Saturnalia is a tense, supernatural tour through a magic-bent, paganized Philadelphia — that also manages to be heartfelt and beautifully written.” Hester Fox’s Lullaby for Witches, follows Augusta as she discovers the sinister secrets of the Harlowe family, a well-to-do New England family, including their all but obliterated beautiful Margaret, who one hundred and fifty years earlier was labeled a witch because of her uncanny powers. Augusta can’t help but fall into the dark mystery even as she risks everything.
