Praise for Motheater "What an amazing read! Richly textured and full of bright, beating hope, Motheater is a captivating debut." --Rory Power , New York Times- bestselling author of Wilder Girls "With Motheater, Codega weaves a darkly enthralling yarn steeped in loss and rage, deftly spinning Appalachia's past, present, and its rich folkloric tradition into something much more than the sum of its parts." --Gretchen Felker-Martin , USA Today- bestselling author of Manhunt and Cuckoo "When an Appalachian reader says a book feels like home, Motheater is what they mean: magic tied deep in the mountains, history written on the bones, everyday folks facing down titans. This debut is absolutely beautiful." --Andrew Joseph White , New York Times -bestselling author of Hell Followed with Us and The Spirit Bears Its Teeth "With a voice as unique and haunting as the Appalachian setting, Codega delivers an enchanting story of witchcraft, nature and industry, and the power of a love that can move mountains." --Hester Fox , author of The Book of Thorns "A haunted church, a living mountain, an Appalachian witch called from a sleep lasting more than a century--this is a unique tale of love and magic, of a curse to be undone and an environmental disaster to be averted. Motheater will enchant all readers of witch stories!" --Louisa Morgan , Endeavor Award finalist for A Secret History of Witches "An exhilarating adventure that shakes the foundations, pure Americana at its core, Motheater is absolutely riveting from beginning to end. A masterful portrayal of the magic of Appalachia.
