Book Description
Like many Hispanic families in South Texas in the 1970s, Hector and Ana-Lucia Zapata wanted only their fair share of the American Dream. Instead, they found themselves on a path wrought from despair, horror, and betrayal. Hector discovers his employer, Hamilton Citrus Company, is illegally using a hazardous pesticide to maximize profits. After the harvest season, many of Weslaco's citizens suffer inexplicable and gruesome deaths. To protect the company's secret, Hamilton enlists the services of cartel leader, Agosto Morales. But what was supposed to be a routine job for the drug lord instead brings him face to face with an old and formidable enemy. While trying to save his town, Hector is neutralized at every turn by Agosto's corruptive influence. Morality and virtue collide violently with capitalism and greed. With time running out, Ana-Lucia turns to an old curandera for guidance, unleashing dark and volatile magic on the unsuspecting town. The ramifications of such powerful energies extend well beyond the borders of Weslaco and onto other planes of existence-where death is only the beginning. "Feminism, Oranges, and Witchcraft is a labyrinth of horror, popular culture, and social commentary that will keep you guessing until its powerful and grisly finale. A fun read for horror comic fans." -Ramsey Ramirez, South Texas Comic Con founder

"Edgy and often deeply personal, the twenty-one essays collected here come from a wide variety of writers. Some identify as witches, others identify as writers, musicians, game developers, or artists. What they have in common is that they've created personal rituals to summon their own power in a world that would prefer them powerless. Here, they share the rituals they use to resist self-doubt, grief, and depression in the face of sexism, slut shaming, racism, patriarchy, and other systems of oppression"--

Girls Against God
Author: Jenny Hval
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1788738977
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
A genre-warping, time-travelling horror novel-slash-feminist manifesto for fans of Clarice Lispector and Jeanette Winterson. Welcome to 1990s Norway. White picket fences run in neat rows and Christian conservatism runs deep. But as the Artist considers her work, things start stirring themselves up. In a corner of Oslo a coven of witches begin cooking up some curses. A time-travelling Edvard Munch arrives in town to join a death metal band, closely pursued by the teenaged subject of his painting Puberty, who has murder on her mind. Meanwhile, out deep in the forest, a group of school girls get very lost and things get very strange. And awful things happen in aspic. Jenny Hval's latest novel is a radical fusion of queer feminist theory and experimental horror, and a unique treatise on magic, writing and art. "Strange and lyrical. Hval’s writing is surreal and rich with the grotesque banalities of human existence." —Publishers Weekly "The themes of alienation, queerness, and the unsettling nature of desire align Hval with modern mainstays like Chris Kraus, Ottessa Moshfegh, and Maggie Nelson." —Pitchfork
