Mexican Gothic mixes horror elements of classics like Jane Eyre, The Yellow Wallpaper, Lovecraft & Dracula with a fresh new protagonist, an outspoken Mexican feminist.
This book has everything a gothic horror reader will love: dark and ruined mansion, mysterious illnesses, hallucinations, fucking SPOOKY WALLPAPER—oh and yeah horrible men. An abundance of horrible men.
It’s not for the faint of heart, with gruesome descriptions of body horror akin to Annihilation, as well as mature content…and I mean batshit crazy mature content. Mexican Gothic pulls no punches, which is why it is so good.
