The creators of Bitter Root flips the centuries old convention of "Black people are monsters" by arguing that, well, isn't the most monstrous force in the US actually racist hate f rom white folks? In explosive fashion, Bitter Root introduces us to a family of conjurers and root workers who have battled literal demons for generations; demons that are born from the hate that only white men are capable of and, worse, from the despair of those they oppress. Set against the backdrop of the Harlem Renaissance, Bitter Root exposes racial inequalities with gloriously illustrated battles between monstrous NYPD and Klan members and those who fight to redeem or destroy them. --- From the Publisher: Best New Series of 2019—Entertainment Weekly Monster-hunting has been the Sangerye family business for generations as they battle the jinoo—hideous creatures born out of hate and racism. But now, the Sangeryes face a different threat—the deadly inzondo, a new kind of monster born out of grief and trauma. With one of their own turning into an inzondo, and an army of tortured souls on the attack in 1920s Harlem, the Sangerye family must once again fight to save the world, unless their own pain and suffering transform them into monsters as well!
