The Bewitching

“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, multi-generational saga that possesses and devours anyone who reads it. Garcia Moreno 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 “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.”­—Publishers Weekly, starred review Praise for Silvia Moreno-Garcia “Whenever I want to read a book I know will be good, I go to Silvia Moreno-Garcia.”—Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo “In Moreno-Garcia’s skillful hands, you’ll find the satisfaction of richly drawn characters, saturated settings and deftly constructed plot twists. . . . No matter the genre—gothic, horror, noir—she’ll embody its essence with a verve all her own.”—The New York Times Book Review
