Isabel Canas-The Possession of Alba Diaz

Mexican-American author Isabel Cañas blazed onto the horror scene in 2022 with The Hacienda, a stunning Latinx take on the  haunted house tale, followed up Vampires of El Norte (2023), an equally rich Western-meets-horror-meets-vampire novel.Cañas’ third novel, THE POSSESSION OF ALBA DÍAZ (Berkley Hardcover), is a supernatural-meets-body-horror story of demonic possession, set in 1765 among the silver mines of Mexico. Kneading together mysticism and sorcery, the science and supernatural powers of alchemy, and the patriarchal grip of the Church on mining towns, THE POSSESSION OF ALBA DÍAZ is ultimately a terrifying historical horror about the earthly and unearthly ways in which a woman’s body can be owned.
