The name Silvia Moreno-Garcia, is synonymous with gothic horror - and for excellent reasons. "Mexican Gothic", and "The Daughter of Doctor Moreau" are two books that I regularly recommend for fans of dark, suspenseful novels with a gothic overture.
And I know that I will be adding "The Bewitching" to this list.
"The Bewitching" is an intergenerational tale, crossing three timelines: Massachusetts in 1998 and 1934, Mexico in the early 1900s and introducing us to a series of intriguing female characters. Each woman encounters the supernatural and these events connect them through the decades.
The writing is beautiful and slowly builds up the fear & tension through slow events, events that could be innocent, yet in this storyline are anything but harmless. As the fear & tension build, our protagonists must battle for their souls & survival.
