New York Times bestselling author Silvia Moreno-Garcia masterfully blends elements of horror, fantasy, noir, and historical fiction. Her distinctive style gained a wide audience with Mexican Gothic, winner of the Locus Award for Best Horror Novel in 2021 and one of TIME’s 100 Best Mystery and Thriller Books of All Time. Moreno-Garcia’s follow ups include The Daughter of Doctor Moreau (2022), a reimagining of the H.G. Wells classic set in Yucatán, and The Seventh Veil of Salome (2024), a dual-timeline story that interweaves the biblical story of Salome with that of a Mexican actress playing her in a big-budget Hollywood film. Moreno-Garcia’s latest novel hit shelves in July. The Bewitching is a multigenerational saga about the primordial evil forces that have inspired witches in popular fiction. In a starred review, ­Publishers Weekly raves: “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.”
