SUMMARY:NHCC Book Club: The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
DESCRIPTION:6:00 – 7:30 pm  \nThe NHCC invites lovers of literature\, folks who love to read\, and those who enjoy talking about the history and the vast array of identities that contribute to Latinidad/Hispanidad to join us! We will meet on the fourth Wednesday of every month in the Center’s HLA Conference Room.  \nFor the month of March 2026\, the NHCC Book Club will feature The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Three women in three different eras encounter danger and witchcraft in this eerie multigenerational horror saga from The New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic. \nPLEASE MAKE YOUR RESERVATION HERE! \n“Back then\, when I was a young woman\, there were still witches”: That was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva—stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that’s why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay\, an obscure author of macabre tales. \nIn the course of assembling her thesis\, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay’s most famous novel\, The Vanishing\, was inspired by a true story: Decades earlier\, during the Great Depression\, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate\, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. \nAs Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay’s manuscript\, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico\, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch. \nMinerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit\, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved. (Goodreads)  \nThe book is available at the Albuquerque Public Library: 5 regular copies\, 5 Large Type copies\, Libby audiobook\, Kindle  \nThis is a free community event. Please let us know who will be attending by registering below.  \nNHCC Book Club | New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs
