Mexican Gothic

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a modern gothic horror novel set in 1950s Mexico. The story follows Noemí Taboada, a glamorous socialite sent to a remote mansion called High Place to check on her cousin Catalina, who has sent a distressing letter about her new marriage. When Noemí arrives, she finds a crumbling, isolated estate and an eerie family with dark secrets. Strange occurrences and disturbing dreams begin to plague her as she uncovers a sinister history rooted in violence, control, and the supernatural. Noemí must confront these horrors to save her cousin—and herself—from the grip of High Place and its haunting past. Filled with atmospheric suspense and blending gothic tropes with Mexican folklore, Mexican Gothic is a compelling and chilling read for horror and historical fiction fans.
