Looking for a spellbinding story? Try out these witchy romcom recommendations: 🔮'Payback's A Witch' by Lana Harper 🔮'The Ex Hex' by Erin Sterling 🔮'The League of Gentlewomen Witches' by India Holton
Are you feeling bewitched, bothered and a little bad this Halloween?
While many of us spent the dark early days of the pandemic baking bread and picking up hobbies we'd quickly abandon, author Lana Harper was brewing up something else: a pitch for a new novel that would combine witches with the winning formula of a romantic comedy. In 2021,"Payback's A Witch" became one of dozens of witchy romcoms that flew onto shelves over the past two years.
But for Harper, featuring witches in a romcom was more than just a fun gimmick. It was integral to the queer love story she wanted to tell. “I felt like post-2016, basically the witchcraft section of like my local chain bookstore suddenly exploded,” Sterling says. “I wondered how much of it was a reaction to sort of women especially feeling powerless all of a sudden.”
Aside from the thematic importance of witches, Mandanna points out that including magic in a love story can also be a metaphor for vulnerability.
