MORENO-GARCIA SILVIA THE BEWITCHING

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • 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    A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR  KIRKUS REVIEWS  BOOK RIOT   “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.
