About The Book
Three modern witches must parlay with ancient gods and battle supernatural forces to stop a biblical entity from ascending to godhood, unaware their resistance plays perfectly into their enemy's plan.
Adriyel of the All-Seeing Eye, a pretentious oracle who speaks with the gods. Michele of Mother Earth’s Flesh, a nature wytch with a tender heart. Em of the Living Hellfire, an emo necromancer with a sharp tongue. These three friends are bound together through magick and blood as a queer coven in New York, each following their own magickal path under the watchful eye of their spectral coven matriarch, MTHR.
When the coven accidentally sends all of New York into a supernatural eclipse and sends the magick of the city into imbalance, their presence is revealed to a religious zealot and their angelic beast of retribution. Not only that, they soon discover they are at the center of an ancient prophecy, and all of wytchkind hangs in the balance! Now, each of them must face the secrets of the past, present, and future in order to save the magick.
Created by the late Aaron Reese, Bytchcraft is a love letter to queer friendship, Black Magick, and the found families that sustain us. Enter the magickal world of Bytchcraft and remember – God Save the Wytch.

About The Illustrator
Lema Carril was born in A Coruña, Galicia, Spain. He spent his childhood in Finisterre. After some time without direction, Lema was told by a friend about a comic book school in Barcelona, where he studied for four years. At the end of his studies, he went out on the job hunt without much luck at first, but eventually, Luis from the Butxido Agency offered to represent him. Following some more development and hard work, he had the opportunity to come on board as the artist for Bytchcraft, published by Mad Cave Studios, with Aaron Reese as the writer. This project marks his debut as a professional artist!

Raves and Reviews
“I am so incredibly proud of the pure magic Aaron put into Bytchcraft. It’s everything he wanted it to be – a story that is an unapologetic celebration of queerness, Blackness, friendship, and opulence as only he could express. Aaron worked tirelessly on this project. His dedication to getting his story out into the world speaks to his resilience and pride in his voice. I hope all who read Bytchcraft can appreciate my friend’s efforts, but more than anything, I hope they are inspired to tell their own stories exactly how they wish to tell them. Aaron did exactly that, and I can't help but be thankful that this beautiful, unique piece of work is part of his legacy.”
– Stephanie Williams, Writer of Nubia & The Amazons
"Black, queer, colorful, vibrant, what’s not to love about Bytchraft?"
