Isabel Cañas
In the May/June 2022 issue of WD, I featured The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas in our Breaking In column. A haunted house story at its core, Cañas' debut novel is set in the aftermath of the Mexican War for Independence and tackles issues of feminism, religion, folk magic, and familial secrets. It was my first horror novel for the column, and I was so excited that Cañas wanted to be a part of it—I knew that novel was something special.
