About the Book

Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix is a haunting, deeply unsettling horror novel from the bestselling author of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, blending genuine historical horror with supernatural dread. Set in 1970, the novel follows Fern, a pregnant fifteen-year-old sent away by her family to a secretive home for unwed mothers in Florida, where girls like her are hidden from society, stripped of their names, and pressured to give up their babies for adoption before quietly returning to their old lives as though nothing happened.

As Fern and the other girls endure the home's harsh, dehumanizing routines, a mysterious traveling librarian introduces them to a book of spells, offering the girls a taste of power and agency in a world that has systematically stripped them of both. As the girls begin experimenting with real witchcraft, they find a way to reclaim control over their bodies and futures — but the forces they awaken prove to be far more dangerous, and far more real, than any of them anticipated.

Blending Hendrix's signature blend of genuine scares with sharp social commentary, Witchcraft for Wayward Girls has resonated with readers for its unflinching depiction of a real, historically grounded horror — the treatment of unwed mothers in maternity homes — layered with supernatural terror and a fierce, feminist story of solidarity and reclaimed power, further cementing Grady Hendrix's reputation as one of horror fiction's most inventive and socially conscious voices.
