Choose your retailer
About the book
Religion may be fading from pews, but Americans are not abandoning belief—they are remixing it. From astrology memes to witchcraft covens, wellness cults to techno-utopian visions, the search for meaning has splintered into a kaleidoscope of practices and tribes.
In Strange Rites, cultural critic and religious scholar Tara Isabella Burton explores this strange new landscape. She travels from Silicon Valley dreamers to Brooklyn witches, from SoulCycle devotees to political subcultures that look suspiciously like faith communities. What she finds is not a decline in spirituality, but a vibrant, chaotic Renaissance.
At once brilliant, provocative, and darkly funny, this book reveals how intuition has replaced institutions and why America’s spiritual hunger is shaping a new era of belief.

About the book
"May be destined to become one of the great underground classics of the twenty-first century." —Lansing State Journal
Burned-out private dick Michael McGill needs to jump-start his career. What he gets instead is a cattle prod to the crotch. The president's heroin-addicted chief of staff wants McGill to find the Constitution—the real one the Founding Fathers secretly devised for the time of gravest crisis. And with God, civility, and Mom's homemade apple pie already dead or dying, that time is now. But McGill has a talent for stumbling into every imaginable depravity—and this case is driving him even deeper into America's darkest, dankest underbelly, toward obscenities that boggle even his mind.
"Combines the noir sensibilities of Raymond Chandler with the grotesqueness of Chuck Palahniuk's infamous short story 'Guts' and the acerbic social commentary of William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch." —Chicago Tribune
"Laugh-out-loud funny . . . a deeply inventive look at the undercurrents beneath the mainstream popular culture." —Charlotte Observer
"Not for the faint of heart." —Entertainment Weekly
