Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

4.0

This book. Would it be too much of a spoiler to say this is like the lovechild of August Derleth and Daphne Du Maurier? It starts off all high society then spins out into something from an H.P. Lovecraft nightmare of evil. I read it all in one day... Couldn't stop!

WHY do people say it's a slow burn? They should read My Cousin Rachel or Uncle Silas, then get back to me on that. Taking a star off for some unbearably, hideously grotesque, disgusting and evil elements, but that's part of the price when reading Gothic!
