Description

When Caroline's husband Bobby abandons her for Stacie Gracie, his assistant at the meat counter, her sisters are quick to decide that she must be avenged. Their usual method - a ritual involving pentangles, vodka, masking tape, a frozen head and of course, six black candles - is unconventional, but swift and deadly effective. But does Caroline really share their enthusiasm to see Bobby violently dispatched, and will the sisters stop squabbling for long enough to perform the spell
