About the Book Huckleberry Juju and Other Narrative Spells guides us through the interstices between what is and what might be, a liminal space where we can imagine the aftermath of our dreams. Book Synopsis Victory is often bittersweet in this collection by renowned author David Bowles. Whether through brujera on the Texas-Mexico borderlands, hoodoo in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, divine magic in ancient Mesoamerica, puissant poems in alternate worlds, or strange science in far-flung futures, the characters in these fifteen tales strive to remake the world for the better. But power always exacts a price, sometimes dearer than we can bear. Buoyed by Bowles lyrical mastery of genre, Huckleberry Juju and Other Narrative Spells guides us through the interstices between what is and what might be, a liminal space where we can imagine the aftermath of our dreams.
