      Three women in different eras confront danger and witchcraft in this eerie multigenerational horror saga. Nana Alba often recounted tales of witches to her great-granddaughter Minerva, shaping her fascination with horror literature. Now a graduate student, Minerva is researching Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author known for macabre tales. As she assembles her thesis, Minerva discovers that Tremblay's famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by true events from the Great Depression. Tremblay, who attended the same university as Minerva, became obsessed with her beautiful and mysterious roommate, who vanished under enigmatic circumstances. As Minerva delves deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she feels a sinister presence reminiscent of the malign force that haunted Tremblay and the missing girl. These unsettling occurrences echo Nana Alba's stories of her girlhood in early 1900s Mexico, where she had a chilling encounter with a witch. Minerva suspects that the same dark shadow that plagued her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay now threatens her in 1990s Massachusetts. The pursuit of an academic career can be grueling, but it may become deadly when witchcraft is involved.

    • Todo el mundo conoce a Daisy Jones & The Six: el álbum de la banda Aurora llegó a definir la era del rock ‘n’ roll de finales de los setenta, y una generación entera de chicas quería crecer para ser Daisy. Pero nadie sabe la razón detrás de la división del grupo en la noche de su concierto final en el Estadio de Chicago el 12 de julio de 1979. . . hasta ahora. Daisy es una niña que llega a la mayoría de edad en Los Ángeles a fines de los años sesenta, se cuela en clubes en Sunset Strip, duerme con estrellas de rock y sueña con cantar en Whiskey a Go Go. El sexo y las drogas son emocionantes, pero es el rock ‘n’ roll lo que más ama. Para cuando tiene veinte años, su voz se hace notar y tiene el tipo de belleza despreocupada que hace que la gente haga locuras. También se hizo notar The Six, una banda dirigida por el melancólico Billy Dunne. En la víspera de su primera gira, su novia Camila descubre que está embarazada, y con la presión de la paternidad y la fama inminentes, Billy se vuelve un poco loco en el camino. Daisy y Billy se cruzan cuando un productor se da cuenta de que la clave del éxito sobrealimentado es unir los dos. Lo que suceda después se convertirá en leyenda.

      From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, comes a breath taking novel about modern marriage, the depth of family ties, and the year that one remarkable heroine spends exploring both. When Lauren and Ryan's marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes. Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren's ideas about monogamy and marriage.

What are you willing to fight for? This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It's about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you've got.
