      About This Book

      Beware of conjurers and voodoo queens!  In their wake, strange things happen.  Witches shrink to the size of peas, and children are transformed into bugs or birds.  But if fear hides in the folds of the voodoo queen's cloak, so does power.  Conjure women and conjure men--versed in spells and potions to cure any ill--were once familiar figures in America.  The occupation has dwindled, but the fascination remains.  Their feats live on in folktales and history.

      Vampire Bugs presents an assortment of funny and frightening magicians and an array of young heroes and heroines.  Both provocative and entertaining, these stories will give readers the opportunity to reflect on their fears and on their own power.
