"The Bewitching is a stunning story about the power of generational knowledge that proves that any danger to be found in magic lies solely in the person who wields it. By gently leading readers through different time periods, places, and perspectives, Silvia Moreno-Garcia shows just how a story can be a spell--one I was happy to be under." --Jessica Johns, author of Bad Cree "Remarkably gripping, Silvia Moreno-Garcia's The Bewitching is a gorgeous, propulsive tale of witchcraft across the generations. This is a novel of eerie beauty, a book you won't want to turn your back on." --J. M. Miro, author of Ordinary Monsters " The Bewitching is un embrujo espectacular--a harrowing multigenerational saga that possesses and devours anyone who reads it. Moreno-Garcia deftly weaves together lush folk horror, basement-of-the-soul nightmare, and atmospheric mystery in this intoxicating tale of Minerva, her great-grandmother Alba, and a legacy of women destined to cross the paths of witches.
Dazzling, terrifying, and sumptuous, this is a 'finish in one sitting' story that won't let you go, even long after you've closed the book." --Marcela Fuentes, author of Malas "In Silvia Moreno-Garcia's sure hands, every uncovered secret is fraught with intrigue and creeping horror. This multigenerational story weaves class, history and brujeria in a way only Moreno-Garcia can. Fans of Silver Nitrate and Mexican Gothic can rejoice - The Bewitching does not disappoint!" --Tananarive Due, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Reformatory "Moreno-Garcia is a deft enchantress--this is a ghost story in high Gothic style." --ML Rio, bestselling author of If We Were Villains "New England dark academia becomes Mexican folklore becomes tantalizing gothic thriller, and the weave binds ever tighter on each heart-pounding page--right up to the phenomenal conclusion. This is Silvia Moreno-Garcia at the height of her powers!" --Afia Atakora, author of Conjure Women "A thoroughly enjoyable book about power, privilege, dark magic, and the capacity for stories to transcend them all." -- Booklist , starred review "With this equally spooky and sophisticated horror novel, bestseller Moreno-Garcia proves she's as adept playing in the tropes of dark academia as any of the other subgenres she's tried on. It's as unsettling as it is unputdownable.
