Katrell uses her psychic abilities to help clients communicate with deceased loved ones. It’s also the way she earns enough money to keep her family from falling into poverty. One day Katrell realizes she can re-animate the dead, a discovery that means more money, but also much more danger. Faced with a choice between dabbling in the dark arts and falling further into debt, Katrell feels she has no choice. Bad Witch Burning tackles toxic family relationships and moral dilemmas, and also celebrates the power of friendship and Black girl magic.
