It’s time for another spooktober book rec and today we’re talking about The Haunting of Alejandra by V. Castro. It’s spooky and creepy, but also deals with the intense weight of generational trauma and mental illness.
Secrets, lies, alchemy, and demons. For our latest entry in October spooky books, I present The Possession of Alba Díaz by Isabel Cañas.
Bochica by Carolina Florez-Cerchiaro is as much a story about grief and loss as it is about a haunted mansion and the demons within it. At its heart, it’s a story about fighting a demon and the cult that summoned it, yes, but it’s also about letting go and overcoming trauma.
