Mexican Gothic, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Mexican Gothic is a 2020 gothic horror novel by Mexican Canadian author Silvia Moreno-Garcia, set in 1950s Mexico. The story follows Noemí Taboada, a glamorous socialite who travels to a remote, decaying mansion to investigate her newlywed cousin's frantic claims of being poisoned and haunted. The novel blends classic gothic tropes with themes of colonialism, eugenics, and the oppressive power of a sinister family, all within a decaying, isolated house.
