Mexican Gothic
After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region. Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.

✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *Mexican Gothic* delivers a richly atmospheric, delightfully creepy Gothic in 1950s Mexico, with lush, immersive prose and a strong sense ...
The book has all the pieces of a good horror romance novel but suffers from the fact that Noemi is the main character. There is a much more compelling story with Catelina at the reigns hidden in here.
Besides for that the imagery is vivid and engaging, with little hints about the ultimate nature of the house and the family sprinkled throughout the book.
Gothic style writing hasn’t ever been my cup of tea, but this author ensured the balance between prose and narrative balanced to where the plot pulled you so deep in the book there are times you find yourself telling the characters not to touch the moving mold. Brilliant writing and a new favorite author.
