The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

About the Book

"Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches" — that's how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva, stories that have stayed with her all her life. Now a graduate student at a prestigious Massachusetts college researching the history of horror literature, Minerva is writing her thesis on Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales who attended the very same school decades earlier during the Great Depression.

In the course of her research, Minerva discovers that Tremblay's most famous novel was inspired by true events from her own life — namely, the mysterious disappearance of her beautiful, otherworldly college roommate. As Minerva digs deeper into Beatrice's story, she is drawn into an ancient terror: the teyolloquani, a creature from Indigenous folklore that bewitches its victims before draining their blood and devouring their hearts. Spanning three timelines — Nana Alba's own youth in early-1900s Mexico, Beatrice's haunted years in 1930s New England, and Minerva's present-day unraveling — the novel traces how a family's inherited magic, and the monster bound to it, refuses to stay buried.
