We are thrilled to host author Alli Dyer for the signing of her captivating debut novel, Strange Folk. Set in the mystical Appalachian region, this lush and imaginative story follows Lee, a woman who returns to her estranged, magical family in Craw Valley—a place where conjuring meant to protect may have unleashed something sinister.
In addition to the book signing, join us for a special conjure bag/jar activity inspired by the Appalachian folk magic featured in Strange Folk. Participants will create their own personalized protection bags or jars to take home, filled with herbs, crystals, and other symbolic items meant to ward off negativity and bring in good energy.
Perfect for fans of Alice Hoffman, Deborah Harkness, and Sarah Addison Allen, Strange Folk weaves a tale of family secrets, strange phenomena, and the power of the land that will leave you spellbound.
About the Book:
Lee left Craw Valley at eighteen, determined to escape her family’s generations-old ties to the land’s magic. But when her life in California crumbles, she returns with her children to live with her grandmother, Belva. Lee vows to stay far from her family’s mystical ways, but when the target of one of Belva’s spells turns up dead, Lee fears that something far more sinister has been conjured. As she delves into the mysteries of her family and the land, Lee must confront her own power and the ties that bind her to the valley she once fled.
