Fans of Silver Nitrate and Mexican Gothic can rejoice - The Bewitching does not disappoint! * Tananarive Due, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of THE REFORMATORY *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 *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.

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 *The Bewitching is un embrujo espectacular - a harrowing, multi-generational saga that possesses and devours anyone who reads it. Moreno-Garcia deftly weaves together a lush folk horror, basement-of-the-soul nightmare and an 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. Sumptuous. This is a “finish in one sitting” story that won’t let you go long after you’ve closed the book * Marcela Fuentes, author of MALAS * Spooky and sophisticated … Moreno-Garcia toggles between the gothic, über-privileged world of Stoneridge and the harsh reality of life in Alba’s Mexican village, keeping readers in the dark about how they connect, and then pulls the threads together in a searing finale. It’s as unsettling as it is unputdownable * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *A thoroughly enjoyable book about power, privilege, dark magic, and the capacity for stories to transcend them all * Booklist (starred review) *Yet another triumph from one of North America’s most exciting authors. Suspenseful and terrifying; Moreno-Garcia hits it out of the park yet again * Kirkus (starred review) *Effortlessly merges witch folklore across time, giving readers a chilling horror novel, a multi-generational saga, a satisfying mystery, and a reminder of the interconnectedness of humanity, all in one bewitching package … a triumph * Library Journal (starred review) *A vivid historical tale of Mexican witchcraft, a contemporary literary mystery, and an evocation of a class-conscious New England town in the 1930s … chilling but poignant * Locus *A novel of shadowy hallways, half-remembered tales, and women reclaiming their power through story and sacrifice. Moreno-Garcia doesn’t just write about witches - she writes like one, weaving history, grief, and myth into a compelling, character-driven tale. For fans of folk horror, feminist Gothic, and literary hauntings, this is recommended * Horror DNA *Moreno-Garcia is in fine form as a horror writer once again … A mesmerizing novel * BookRiot *
