Gothic & Haunted Houses

Mexican Gothic

by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Noemí Taboada travels to the Mexican countryside to check on her newlywed cousin, trapped in a decaying mansion with her husband's strange English family. As disturbing dreams and family secrets converge, she uncovers eugenic horrors and supernatural evil rotting beneath High Place's elegant facade. A brilliant fusion of classic Gothic atmosphere with Mexican folklore and postcolonial critique.
