COVEN

Jennifer Dugan Kit Seaton

Jennifer Dugan is a solid YA writer and is now trying her hand at graphic novels with Kit Seaton illustrating.
In this queer, paranormal YA graphic novel debut from the author of Some Girls Do and the illustrator of Wonder Woman: Warbringer, a young witch races to solve the grisly supernatural murders of her coven members before the killer strikes again.

Emsy has always lived in sunny California, and she'd much rather spend her days surfing with her friends or hanging out with her girlfriend than honing her powers as a fire elemental. But when members of her family's coven back east are murdered under mysterious circumstances that can only be the result of powerful witchcraft, her family must suddenly return to dreary upstate New York. There, Emsy will have to master her neglected craft in order to find the killer... before her family becomes their next target.

Jennifer Dugan is a geek and a romantic who writes the kinds of stories she wishes she'd had growing up. She is the author of the novels Melt With You, Some Girls Do, Verona Comics, and Hot Dog Girl, which was called "a great, fizzy rom-com" by Entertainment Weekly and "one of the best reads of the year, hands down" by Paste magazine. She lives in upstate New York with her family, their dog, a strange kitten who enjoys wearing sweaters, and an evil cat who is no doubt planning to take over the world.

Kit Seaton has illustrated the graphic novel adaptations of Leigh Bardugo's Wonder Woman: Warbringer and Alexandra Bracken's Brightly Woven. She is the co-creator of the comics Norroway and Afar. You can visit Kit at kitseaton.com or follow her on Instagram @kitandcatcomics.

[This] gorgeously illustrated tale mashes together murder mystery and witchcraft.

Dugan's empathetic cast, whose interpersonal challenges and endearing romances flourish amid supernatural conflict, feel solidly teen, buoying this vividly illustrated graphic novel adventure.

The illustrations [are] done in atmospheric shades with vivid highlights... [A] paranormal story featuring a witchy girl who is only just realizing how incredibly powerful she can be.

The multiracial, intergenerational ensemble cast of queer witches facing a deadly, unknown magical threat forms a strong narrative foundation, enhanced by intense character conflict and action.

Dugan nails adolescent emotions without letting them crowd out the story's action... Queer witchy teens, murder, and a homecoming dance - what more could you want?
