A review by lilybear3
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes

4.5

I had a great time with this book.  It was a slow burn learning the secrets of the house and inhabitants with Noemi.   The characters were interesting and creepy.  The environment fit the gothic genre.  I could see some of the inspirations from
The Yellow Wall Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.  I read that earlier this year so it was cool to see those similarities
(i have this in a spoiler in case you've read this work).  I also thought it was a good feminist horror.  Everything about it was great! 

FUNGUS AMONGUS! Honestly, I'll never get tired of fungus
