"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 Bares Its Teeth

"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." --K. Ancrum, award-winning author of The Wicker King
