If what drew you in was watching Adelaide, Eleanor, and Beatrice turn “Tea and Sympathy” into a haven—and then stand together against a zealot’s threats—The Once and Future Witches will hit the same nerve. Harrow’s Eastwood sisters forge a coven amid suffrage marches, reclaim lost spells, and face off against bigotry with the same blend of grit, tenderness, and occult power that fueled the trio’s séances and protections on Orchard Street.

Beatrice’s awakening—those whispered visitations and the subtle charms threaded through everyday life—mirrors the low, secret pulse of magic in The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane. A grad student uncovers a witch’s grimoire hidden in New England history, much like how the women of The Witches of New York draw on old knowledge and spiritualist practices rather than flashy spellcraft.

If you loved how McKay steeped you in Gilded Age New York—its parlors, shopfronts, and midnight streets, complete with newspaper clippings and spiritualist salons—Wecker’s novel delivers that same richly textured city. A golem and a jinni navigate tenement life, coffeehouses, and immigrant enclaves while a shadowy past closes in, echoing the atmospheric occult undercurrent that stalked Adelaide, Eleanor, and Beatrice.

The way McKay interleaves advertisements, notices, and other snippets with the witches’ story gives the world its crackling realism. Dracula perfects that epistolary chill: journals, telegrams, and news reports assemble a creeping supernatural threat, much like the ominous notices and sermons that foreshadow the dangers circling the “Tea and Sympathy” trio.

If the heart of The Witches of New York for you was the cozy sanctuary the women create—brewing remedies, reading signs, and protecting one another against a predatory moralist—Garden Spells offers a similarly intimate charm. The Waverley women tend a magical garden, stir up subtle enchantments in their kitchen, and heal old wounds, echoing the warm, close-quarters magic of the tea shop on Orchard Street.
