Isabel Canas has published three standalone novels, each set in a different period of Mexican history. The Hacienda (2022) takes place in the aftermath of the Mexican War of Independence and features a young bride who discovers her new home is haunted. Vampires of El Norte (2023) moves to the Texas-Mexico borderlands during the Mexican-American War.
The Possession of Alba Diaz (2025) is her most recent novel. All three books combine real historical settings with supernatural horror, and Canas brings a fresh perspective to the gothic genre by grounding it in Latin American history and culture.
