A review by sinaliento
Gótico by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
dark
mysterious
tense
5.0
this was my first time reading horror and it was pretty good.
it’s definitely a slow burn during which i was delighted, distressed and disgusted by the atmosphere the author creates. those dreams… one of them gave me goosebumps. i also liked that bittersweet last page, tainted with hope and uncertainty. as mexican, i appreciate that moreno-garcía didn't mention the día de muertos.
it remembers me of crimson peak and that’s not a complaint at all. /srs
