Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix (Out Jan. 14 via Berkley) — Hendrix is one of horror’s buzziest writers, with hits such as “The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires” and “The Final Girl Support Group.” The genre-hopper takes on witches in his latest book, bringing his signature remix of classic tales fueled by characters with dimension and heart.
