Set for release in September 2026, Curses, Charms & Other Enchantments: Bewitching Stories of "Hysterical" Women is an anthology dedicated to witchy love stories coedited by M.B. Thurman, author of The Summoned Series, and Contrarian Publishing’s Jamie Ryu. 

​

Women have historically been labelled hysterical. Crazy. Witches. But despite the trials, there is still nothing quite like the gut-wrenching pains and inimitable joys of being a woman.

​

As women across the world continue to fight for their basic rights, we want to celebrate the love, the rage, and the empowerment that comes from being a woman. More than ever, uplifting stories of feminine power is of the utmost importance. 

​

As a result, Curses, Charms & Other Enchantments will, in part, be a fundraiser for the Joyful Heart Foundation—a non-profit organization that supports victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse—as well as Planned Parenthood—a non-profit that provides sexual health care in the United States and globally—after publication.

​​

We're excited to be launching our Kickstarter with 3 amazing authors! Authors Dawn Chen, Lily Meade, and M.B. Thurman will have brand new short stories featured in Curses, Charms & Other Enchantments! 

​

Curses, Charms & Other Enchantments will be released in paperback and ebook format on September 22, 2026.
