The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
My Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩
This book was amazing. Moreno-Garcia always does a stellar job of moving classic horror tropes to Central America, but here the tale also incorporates classic New England hauntings. Referencing many genre classics, including authors, myths and fiction classics, this is the height of gothic horror full of Easter Eggs for fans of the genre. The prose is immersive and really hones in on that sense of general unease/foreboding required for a good spooky tale. The stories of three generations weave together leaving just enough clues to solve the "case," but not without a few twists here and there. This will make a perfect read for spooky season or for those of us who do witchy vibes year round.
