Back then\, when I was a young woman\, the re were still witches.' That was how Nana Alba always began the stories sh e told her great-granddaughter Minerva--stories that have stayed with Mine rva all her life. Perhaps that's why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life&n bsp\;of Beatrice Tremblay\, an obscure author of macabre tales. In the cou rse of assembling her thesis\, Minerva uncovers information that reveals t hat Tremblay's most famous novel\, The Vanishing\, was inspired b y a true story: Decades earlier\, during the Great Depression\, Tremblay a ttended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obses sed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate\, who then disappeared un der mysterious circumstances. As Minerva descends ever deeper into Trembla y's manuscript\, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tr emblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. Thes e disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhoo d in 1900s Mexico\, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch. Min erva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-gr andmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massac husetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit\, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved
