Book description
The whisper of a campus breeze through old library windows, the faint echo of footsteps down empty hallways-Silvia Moreno-Garcia's The Bewitching becomes something truly unsettling when heard as an audiobook. You're not just reading about Minerva, the grad student unraveling a century-old horror, you're walking alongside her, the weight of history pressing in with every turn of the page. The New York Times bestseller masterfully weaves three timelines: Nana Alba's chilling encounter with a witch in 1900s Mexico, Beatrice Tremblay's obsession and a disappearance during the Great Depression, and Minerva's own chilling discoveries at her university. What makes this audiobook exceptional is how the narration builds the dread. The author's signature dark, atmospheric prose-describing the "malign force" stalking campus halls, the "otherworldly" roommate, the way shadows seem to lengthen in Minerva's study-comes alive through the reader's voice. You hear the tension in the pauses, the subtle shift in tone when Minerva realizes the same shadow haunting her ancestors now threatens her. The academic setting, usually a place of safety, feels increasingly claustrophobic, the creak of floorboards a potential harbinger. Moreno-Garcia doesn't just tell you the past is repeating; the audiobook makes you feel it, like a cold breath on your neck as Minerva traces Tremblay's footsteps. The true horror isn't just the witchcraft-it's the chilling realization that history isn't past tense, but a living, breathing entity waiting in the corners of the familiar. This isn't just a story about witches; it's about the terrifying legacy carried in family bones, whispered secrets, and the moment academic pursuit turns into a desperate fight for survival. The audiobook's pacing is perfect, letting dread simmer before the inevitable, chilling escalation. You'll find yourself leaning closer to the speaker, listening for the next whisper in the static, knowing the shadow is always just behind you. A triumph of atmospheric horror, where the sound of a voice becomes the most terrifying thing in the room.
