It's 1950 when flighty socialite Noemi is summoned from her home in Mexico City to the home of her newlywed cousin, Catalina, who has suddenly become ill, withdrawn, and something of a hermit in her husband's family home. When Noemi arrives at the remote hilltop house, she senses that something is definitely not right with this strangely silent and rotting home. Is it haunted? Or is something even more nefarious going on with the family?
A callback to the works of Shirley Jackson, Daphne DuMaurier, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Mexican Gothic is creepy, atmospheric, and keeps the reader guessing as Noemi tries to save her cousin and herself. I wasn't too excited about reading this one before bed, but perhaps that's because so many things happen in this book that are possibly dreams...but probably not? A good read for fans of gothic horror.
This book will be published June 30, 2020.
