Free Audiobook : The Bewitching, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Minerva grew up on her great-grandmother Alba’s chilling tales of witches, stories that linger like shadows as she dives into her grad school thesis at Stoneridge College in 1998. Researching Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure horror writer, Minerva uncovers whispers of a real-life mystery tied to the author’s time at the same school decades ago. The deeper she digs, the more she feels an eerie presence creeping into her life, one that’s far too real for comfort.

Back in 1934, Beatrice was a student at Stoneridge, caught in the spell of her enigmatic roommate whose sudden disappearance left questions no one dared answer. In 1908, Alba, a farmer’s daughter in Mexico’s rugged hills, faced her own brush with dark magic, a force that shaped her family’s future. These three women, bound by time and secrets, are tied to a legacy of witchcraft that’s as seductive as it is dangerous, pulling Minerva toward a truth she might not survive.

Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s The Bewitching, narrated with haunting intensity by Gisela Chipe, is a multigenerational horror saga that weaves Mexican folklore with gothic chills. This audiobook draws you into a world of dark academia and brujería, where every secret hums with menace, perfect for listeners craving a story that’s as unsettling as it is spellbinding.
