MORENO-GARCIA SILVIA THE BEWITCHING

Three women in three different eras encounter danger and witchcraft in this eerie
multigenerational horror saga from the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic .  
“In Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s sure hands  every uncovered secret is fraught with intrigue and
creeping horror.”—Tananarive Due  Bram Stoker Award–winning author of The Reformatory   “Back
then  when I was a young woman  there were still witches”: That was how Nana Alba always began
the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva—stories that have stayed with Minerva all
her life. Perhaps that’s why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of
horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay  an obscure author of
macabre tales.  In the course of assembling her thesis  Minerva uncovers information that
reveals that Tremblay’s most famous novel  The Vanishing  was inspired by a true story: Decades
earlier  during the Great Depression  Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is
now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate  who then
disappeared under mysterious circumstances.  As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay’s
manuscript  she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing
girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories
Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico  where she had a terrifying encounter with a
witch.  Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother
and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can
be a punishing pursuit  but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved.
