It&#8217;s a razor-sharp exploration of the violent experience of girlhood and womanhood, perfect for readers seeking a horror book with historical and social depth.<!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With fear comes the abandonment of reason, and that&#8217;s when things become dangerous.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Inspired by Sri Lankan folklore, Amanda Jayatissa&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Island Witch<\/em> is a lush, gothic 19th-century horror story about Amara, the daughter of a village Capuwa, or demon priest. Because of her father&#8217;s profession, Amara&#8217;s peers bully her and accuse her of witchcraft. Things only get worse when men are violently attacked in the jungle. The village, which the British colonizers increasingly influence, points the finger at Amara&#8217;s father and further outcasts her and her family. Even though many called upon the Capuwa whenever supernatural evil was at their doorstep, inside their homes, or possessing their children.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The premise of\u00a0<em>Island Witch<\/em>\u00a0is familiar, reminiscent of horror books like\u00a0<em>Carrie<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>The Exorcist<\/em>, yet the cultural elements and setting make it fresh and compelling.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There were times when the pacing felt slower, though appropriate for a gothic narrative. The burning questions and Amara&#8217;s frightful nightmares help overcome this. Once the setting and colonial and Sri Lankan history are established,\u00a0<em>Island Witch<\/em>\u00a0launches into a series of gut-punching reveals that make it impossible to put down.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Amara learns that once a monster is revealed, others aren&#8217;t far behind, and sometimes this means uncovering the truth about those who hide behind the guise of love and friendliness. This shattered illusion is crucial to coming-of-age stories. Jaytissa brilliantly captures how this is far more complex for girls as Amara uncovers women hurting all over the village, suffering abuse, assault, and stolen autonomies. Here, she steps into her anger, which makes for an explosive and shocking ending.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The emotional connection between the reader and Amara is undeniably magnetic. You&#8217;ll root for Samara, curse those who take advantage of her na\u00efvet\u00e9, and always come back to the point of understanding why she pursues the paths she does. Jaytissa creates complex and flawed characters, including Amara&#8217;s childhood friend Neha, who has taken to British and Christian practices, and Amara&#8217;s mother, who left behind luxury and comfort for her marriage. The development of these two relationships contributes immensely to Amara&#8217;s character arc and fierce and furious self-reclamation. Fans of Ti West&#8217;s <em>Pearl<\/em> will savor a particular part of the big finale.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As much as\u00a0<em>Island Witch<\/em>\u00a0speaks for women who&#8217;ve been silenced and validates female readers, I hope men pick this up, too. It&#8217;s a great representation of scapegoats used to persecute women and how recognizable these patterns are even hundreds of years later.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Readers who enjoyed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/review-hacienda-canas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Hacienda<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Isabel Canas, Silvia Moreno&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/review-daughter-of-doctor-moreau\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Daughter of Doctor Moreau<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0and Johanna Van Veen&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/review-my-darling-dreadful-thing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>My Darling Dreadful Thing<\/em><\/a>\u00a0will love\u00a0<em>Island Witch<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Island Witch\u00a0by Amanda Jayatissa Berkley (February 2024)\u00a0 Reviewed by Haley Newlin Island Witch is an unforgettable and culturally rich good-for-her horror novel I cannot stop talking about.
