"I wanted to write a gothic story because it's not generally associated with Latin American writers. There is an almost cliché association with magic realism but we are capable of writing more than that. . . ."

Mexican Gothic (2020) by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Few manage to still capture the essence of what makes gothic horror fun. Here, the genre's subversive core is laid bare. A decaying house, a creepy family obsessed with genetics and an outsider who tries to save someone from their clutches, all those classic elements have a lot to say about race, class and even colonialism, making this familiar story feel brand new.

@stjaerna @bookstodon I’m listening to this right now, about 2/3 of the way through. Just desperate for Noemí to get out of High Place. Start walking, girl, if you have to, but get the helloutta that moldy joint full of weird controlling dudes and a Mrs. Danvers knockoff and mold and possibly ghosts! Amscray! #MexicanGothic

Mexican Gothic: This book is SO AMAZING that I really wanted to forget all about it just so I could read it again.

It's a slow burn historical horror set in... Mexico, that totally picks up as it approaches the end that you won't be able to put it down as you get past a point.

LOVED the antagonist/thing, and I think it was genius. Sadly, can't talk much because spoilers.
