Praise
What a fun, witchy little read! The Horned Women takes a creepy old Irish fairy tale and spins it into something fresh, smart, and totally charming. I loved Maura — she’s got that “holding it together with duct tape and coffee” energy I can seriously relate to — and seeing her face off against twelve different horned witches with nothing but folklore, stitching skills, and pure mom grit was just so satisfying.
Christy Matheson writes with a cozy, heartfelt vibe that makes even the spookiest moments feel grounded and real. It’s a quick read, but it really sticks with you. If you like your fairy tales with a bit of chaos, a little magic, and a lot of heart, you’ll love this one.

Christy Matheson takes ancient folklore and breathes wild, bloody life into it, conjuring up a story of grief, anger, magic, and survival.
The atmosphere is thick with shadow and myth: dark woods, whispered warnings, the gleam of horns; I was spellbound. The characters are raw, fierce, and painfully real.
