Mexican Gothic

I think The Guardian said it best: “It's Lovecraft meets the Brontës in Latin America, and after a slow-burn start Mexican Gothic gets seriously weird.” It's set in 1950s Mexico and our young heroine, Noemí, is visiting strange relatives after receiving a disquieting letter from her beloved cousin, Catalina. The remote house she visits and the family that lives there is odd to say the least. The story wastes no time getting started, but it is a slow-burn – until two-thirds in when it's Oh My GOD! I read the last hundred pages in a rush. It's a cool, weird, thrilling tale, a modern update on gothic horror.
