Being the daughter of the village Capuwa, or demonpriest, Amara is used to keeping mostly to herself. Influenced by the new religious practices brought in by the British Colonizers, the villagers who once respected her fathers craft have turned on the family. Yet, they all still seem to call on him whenever supernatural disturbances arise. Now someone or something is viciously seizing upon men in the jungle. But instead of enlisting Amaras fathers help, the villages have accused him of carrying out the attacks himself. As she tries to clear her fathers name, Amara finds herself haunted by dreams that eerily predict the dark forces on her island. And she cant shake the feeling that its all connected to the night she was recovering from a strange illness, and woke up, scared and confused, to hear her mothers frantic cries No one can find out what happened. Lush, otherworldly, and recalling horror classics like Carrie and The Exorcist, Island Witch is a deliciously creepy and darkly feminist tale about the horrors of moral panic, the violent space between girlhood and adulthood, and what happens when female rage is finally unleashed.
