A VISITATION OF SPIRITS 🪶 was officially (re)published this week! A masterwork of magical realism from Randall Kenan, a truly remarkable writer and wordsmith.

This brand new edition features an introduction from Omari Weekes which both illustrates the kind of once-in-a-generation writer Kenan was; by contextualising the beating pulse of this novel, the importance of portraying faith, queerness, Black family and the folkloric atmosphere of Tims Creek, which is almost a character itself, the rural small town setting in which this tale of demons, preachers and the teenager who gets swept up in it all, takes place.

It's a remarkable honour to be bringing A VISITATION OF SPIRITS 🪶 back to bookshelves, ready for a new generation of readers to discover the incredible talent that was Randall Kenan.

Find A VISITATION OF SPIRITS on the shelf of your favourite bookshop, or head to the link in bio to browse the full collection of Outsider Classics!
