Hello, I thought you'd like my book for review.
My story Lady Mojo and the Invisible Church is awesome. I decided to include Black American culture and mythology. I went full Black nerd and Black occultist on this one. To me, there's no real science fiction or anime or anything that makes Hoodoo look like the awesome practice that it is. So, as a Hoodoo practitioner, I wanted to show people that I always saw Hoodoo practitioners, particularly Conjure Women, as superheroes.

You got zombie angels. You got guys who can use the Black American Hoodoo "ring shout" as a projectile attack. We have "gaze speak" or when Black Americans can just look at each other and say an entire paragraph without saying a word and so I made that a form of magical telepathy with facial movements.
I used obscure Black American Hoodoo myths like:
-I wanted the Hoodoo Conjure Woman to get some respect put on her name. The main character is a waitress who ends up fighting threats so powerful that, by the end of the story, you'll respect her hero's journey. Hoodoo Conjure Women deserve such respect.
-Conjure Twins
-Moorish tales like the Handless Woman (there is a Moorish version of that story) and I made her into an action hero styled spirit who grants snake blaster power armor.
-John the Conqueror
-Uncle Monday
-Lilith (who actually married John the Conqueror in many tales).
-I am using a super version of Gullah Jack later on in the story.
-"The Haint Touched" which is a super obscure myth.
I wanted a unique tale that nobody has tried or at least I've never seen anyone take Hoodoo THIS seriously. Tell me what you think, if you decide to review it.
