A review by whimsicallyjaded
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

5.0

Oh my gosh there's just so much. I loved this book so so much. The entire thing was so atmospheric and weird and the weirdness was also palpable and uncomfortable but also I was weirdly drawn to it. I read this book for school and I probably never would've ever gotten around to reading it otherwise (I was always intrigued by it but it is horror and normally I wouldn't read a horror novel). I am so grateful that this class made me read this book because I am absolutely OBSESSED WITH IT. the imagery! the racial commentary! the commentary about power and greed and self-destruction! the CHARACTERS! So good. Highly recommend.
