A glamorous young socialite discovers the haunting secrets of a mysterious mansion in 1950s Mexico: a mesmerising feminist Gothic fantasy, 'Darkly brilliant' Yangtze Choo, author of The Ghost Bride
'You don't read this book so much as surrender to it. A dark and heady swoon' THE GUARDIAN
'As rich is suspense as it is in lush '50s atmosphere' ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
He is trying to poison me. You must come for me, Noemi. You have to save me.After receiving a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, socialite Noemi Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She's not sure what she will find - her cousin's husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemi knows little about the region.
Noemi is more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she's also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: not of her cousin's new alluring, menacing husband; not of his father; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with dark visions.
For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire keeps them safe from prying eyes, but as Noemi digs deeper, she unearths stories of violence and madness.
And Noemi, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may find it impossible to escape.
'Darkly brilliant and captivating' YANGSZE CHOO, bestselling author of The Fox Wife
'Moreno-Garcia gets it absolutely right' THE TELEGRAPH

Praise for Mexican Gothic: The extraordinary international bestseller, 'a new classic of the genre'
-
Darkly brilliant and captivating. Readers who love old houses and family secrets will devour this book (as I did!). The setting itself - High Place, with its reputation for devouring the dreams of young women - is a character in this marvelously fantastical novel. From 1950s glamorous Mexican high society to the crumbling pride of an abandoned silver mine, Moreno-Garcia enthralls with this twisty tale of love and betrayal - Yangsze Choo, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Tiger and The Ghost Bride
-
Masterful . . . a gloriously moody adventure. Spooky, smart, and wry. Chic, no-nonsense Noemi Taboada is one hell of a tour guide through this world of mystery, scandal and spirits - Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling
-
Mexican Gothic is the subversive, seductive, satisfying haunted house story I didn't know I needed. I genuinely couldn't put it down - Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January
-
Tense, atmospheric and beautifully written, Mexican Gothic will carry readers back in time to 1950s Mexico where a dark secret looms large, insidiously winding its way through the pages. A spellbinding, suspenseful, immersive read! - Chanel Cleeton, New York Times & USA Today bestselling author of The Last Train to Key West
-
A gorgeous piece of work . . . absolutely terrifying, and it has stayed with me in a powerful way - Sarah Gailey, Hugo Award-winning author of Magic for Liars
-
Mexican Gothic is an intense, beautiful monster of a novel. Moreno-Garcia's gothic plot is as sharp as a razor and twice as dangerous. Like any good terror, I couldn't look away. Lush and lyrical writing makes this a vivid, seductive read - A. J. Hackwith, author of The Library of the Unwritten
-
This was lovely. Reminded me of the old Mary Stewart romance mysteries mixed with a healthy dose of Lovecraftian horror--in other words, a classic Gothic horror romance, told with perfect skill and elan. Can't say I'm surprised though: Moreno-Garcia is a master who writes with a deft hand and a flare for beautifully evocative details. Seriously loved everything about it, which was so engaging I read the whole thing last night - Jenn Lyons, author of The Ruin of Kings
-
To use the author's own phrase, there's a 'velvet black decadence' to Mexican Gothic - it is a luscious, sensuous take on a haunted house novel that will effortlessly wrap you in its spell. I loved it - Alison Littlewood, author of Mistletoe
