Silvia Moreno-Garcia has built a reputation for writing novels that refuse to stay in a single genre. Mexican Gothic, her biggest commercial hit, mixes 1950s Mexico with gothic horror. Gods of Jade and Shadow draws on Mayan mythology for a fantasy set in the Jazz Age. Velvet Was the Night is a noir thriller set during 1970s Mexico City. Each book stakes out new territory while maintaining Moreno-Garcia’s interest in Mexican history and culture.

Born in Mexico and based in Canada, Moreno-Garcia is also a prolific anthologist and short fiction editor. She has edited numerous speculative fiction anthologies and published several short story collections. Her editorial work has helped bring attention to diverse voices in genre fiction, particularly writers from Latin America and other underrepresented backgrounds. With twelve standalone novels, five novellas, and dozens of edited anthologies, her body of work is both wide-ranging and consistently well-received.
