'This book is CHARM ITSELF. It's a high-octane high-camp horror funfair that is so smart and so edgy and funny and heartfelt and loving that I think teens who love it now will still pull it off the shelf when they are 40. Now, Conjurers is an evening with a movie from Blockbuster that's rated slightly too high for you to have legally rented it and the biggest, trashiest bag of popcorn, staying up until 3 AM with your friends and then having really savage nightmares afterwards for a week.’ – Tamsyn Muir, author of Gideon the Ninth'This sensational YA debut blends tense, terrifying horror with dark humour, queer romance and hugely original storytelling.' Guardian'An absolute 90s, technicolor, fever dream of a novel. Now, Conjurers takes readers on a ride that is, at once, tender and terrifying. I'd follow Nesbit and the North Coven anywhere.’ – Sasha Peyton Smith, NYT bestselling author of The Witch Haven ‘A rollicking and thoughtful take on the be-careful-what-you-wish-for trope. Kölsch holistically integrates serious issues with a deft touch that keeps the book both eerie and light in pleasantly equal measure.’ – Kirkus starred review‘This supernatural thriller takes characters and readers alike on an emotional roller coaster of shocking revelations, culminating in a cathartic, action-packed climax … Kölsch spins together a web of hidden agendas, secret histories, and a terrifying otherworldly antagonist into a dark and chilling debut.’ – Publishing Weekly‘I love it when I’ve no idea where a story is going to take me, and Now,Conjurers took me to some dark places, but I knew that I was in sure hands with Freddie’s writing. This was an absolutely wild ride, full of scares and horror as well as love and friendship.’ – Sally Green, bestselling author of the Half Bad trilogy
