About The Bewitching
In 1990s Massachusetts, horror-literature scholar Minerva investigates forgotten writer Beatrice Tremblay and discovers that her most famous novel was inspired by a real disappearance decades earlier. The case echoes stories from Minerva’s great-grandmother’s childhood in 1900s Mexico, suggesting the same sinister force has crossed generations to find her.
