"Ask Baba Yaga is Dear Sugar for the supernatural set. Witty, wise,
and weird in all the right ways, Kitaiskaia proves that good advice
is its own magic spell. She meets each query with a generous spirit
and a crone-old soul. Pull up a chair in her chicken-leg hut, and
let her potent, poetic insights bring you comfort during your
darkest nights." (Pam Grossman, author of What Is a Witch)
"Ask Baba Yaga is a beautiful, strange, troubled, moving piece of
fresh air. Pick up this book, turn the pages, inhale, and feel
ready to march back into everyday troubles with renewed courage and
hope. I adored it." (Edward Carey, author of The Iremonger
Trilogy)
"Ask Baba Yaga is no ordinary book...Reader, hand over your soft
animal soul to Baba; watch as she seizes it, pokes around, finds
the ticklish and tender spots. Rejoice in her primordial wisdom."
(Kelly Luce, author of Pull Me Under)
"Ask Baba Yaga is the only advice column I trust. Taisia
Kitaiskaia's thoughtful, otherworldly responses are calming
talismans in a time when turmoil feels a part of daily life. When
you're feeling adrift, let Baba Yaga be your remedy." (Emma
Carmichael, Jezebel.com)
"Every word of Ask Baba Yaga feels like a gift." (Julie Buntin,
author of Marlena)
