Master of horror: Grady Hendrix

from Walter Edgar's Journal Hosted by South Carolina Public Radio

Today our guest is Mt. Pleasant native Grady Hendrix, author of the horror novel Witchcraft for Wayward Girls (2025, Berkley Books). The novel is set in Florida in 1970 and is about a group of pregnant teenage girls, living in a maternity home for unwed girls, who discover a book on witchcraft. For the first time in their lives power seems to be in the hands. We’ll talk with Grady about this latest book, as well as some of his past one, and explore how he came to specialize in the horror fiction genre.
