Overview
The Walter Award Honorāwinning author of Root Magic returns with a terrifying story in the Southern Gothic tradition, inspired by the hoodoo practice of hair burning.
At night, Roddie still dreams of sitting at his motherās feet while she braids his Afro down. But thatās a memory from before. Before his mom died in a tragic accident. Before he was taken in by an aunt he barely knows. Before his aunt brought him to Dogwood House, the creepiest place Roddie has ever seen. It was his familyās home for over a hundred years. Now the houseāabandoned and rotting, draped in Spanish moss that reminds him too much of hairāis his home too.
Aunt Angie has returned to South Carolina to take care of Roddie and reconnect with their familyās hoodoo roots. Roddie, however, canāt help but feel lost. His mom had never told him anything about hoodoo, Dogwood House, or their family. And as they set about fixing the house up, Roddie discovers that there is even more his mother never said. Like why she left home when she was seventeen, never to return. Or why she insisted Aunt Angie always wear her hair in locs. Or what she knew of the strange secrets hidden deep within Dogwood Houseāsecrets that have awoken again, and are reaching out to Roddieā¦
