About this listen
 "Superb ... a perfect horror for our imperfect age.” – The New York Times

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER

They were never girls, they were witches . . . .


They call them wayward girls. Loose girls. Girls who grew up too fast. And they’re sent to the Wellwood House in St. Augustine, Florida, where unwed mothers are hidden by their families to have their babies in secret, to give them up for adoption, and most important of all, to forget any of it ever happened.


Fifteen-year-old Fern arrives at the home in the sweltering summer of 1970, pregnant, frightened, and alone. Under the watchful eye of the stern Miss Wellwood, she meets a dozen other girls in the same predicament. There’s Rose, a hippie who insists she’s going to find a way to keep her baby and escape to a commune. And Zinnia, a budding musician who plans to marry her baby’s father. And Holly, a wisp of a girl, barely fourteen, mute and pregnant by no-one-knows-who.


Everything the girls eat, every moment of their waking day, and everything they’re allowed to talk about is strictly controlled by the adults who claim they know what’s best for them. Then Fern meets a librarian who gives her an occult book about witchcraft, and power is in the hands of the girls for the first time in their lives. But power can destroy as easily as it creates, and it’s never given freely. There’s always a price to be paid . . . and it’s usually paid in blood.


In Witchcraft for Wayward Girls, the author of How to Sell a Haunted House and The Final Girl Support Group delivers another searing, completely original novel and further cements his status as a “horror master” (NPR). Editors Select Horror Psychological Suspense Thriller & Suspense

The story, the pacing everything was great! I hope this becomes a movie, i would love to watch these characters come to life.

Wonderful engaging story

Its not about jump scares but atmosphere, and more about social horror that goes deep inside your skin. Just dont leave the book in between if you feel bit boring in between. Every single part will come together at the end with best tone..

Its very different and interesting

The book is working on a lot of plot points which are intense and crowd you all together. But as you keep going, the story hooks you and as a woman this story touches a lot of areas in your life that you keep number on a daily basis, because this is how you are supposed to live.

Scary roller coaster with a purpose
