Have you read V. Castro yet? Goddess of Filth by V. Castro Published March 2021 Dark Fiction   |   Goodreads   |   Amazon   “Five of us sat in a circle doing our best to emulate the girls in The Craft, hoping to unleash some power to take us all away from our home to the place of our dreams. But we weren’t witches. We were five Chicanas living in San Antonio, Texas, one year out of high school.” One hot summer night, best friends Lourdes, Fernanda, Ana, Perla, and Pauline hold a séance.

The local priest is convinced it's...
