Storyline Book Club: Horror Book Club

Storyline Bookshop is hosting a book club discussion centered on *Vampires of El Norte* by Isabel Cañas, a supernatural Western blending folklore with historical fiction. The novel follows Nena and Néstor, childhood acquaintances whose lives intersect again during the 1846 U.S. invasion of Mexico. Set against the Texas-Mexico border, their story weaves together themes of family duty, lost love, and the very real dangers—both human and supernatural—that threaten their survival. This is a great option if your family enjoys literary discussions and appreciates darker, more mature storytelling. The book club format gives readers a chance to dive deeper into the author's work and connect with other book enthusiasts in your community. Cañas brings a unique perspective as a Mexican American writer drawing on her heritage and academic background in Near Eastern studies, making this a rich text for conversation.
