An isolated mansion. A frighteningly charismatic aristocrat. And a socialite anger designed to expose their treacherous secrets. . . . By the author of Gods of Jade and Shadow comes “a terrifying turnaround in the classic Gothic horror” (Kirkus Reviews) set in the glamorous Mexico of the 1950s.
After receiving a frantic letter from his newlywed cousin begging for someone to save her from mysterious destruction, Noemi Taboada is up to a tall place, a distant house in the Mexican field. She is not sure what she will find – her cousin's husband, a beautiful English, is a stranger, and Noemi knows little about the region.
Noemi is also an unlikely rescuer: it is a glamorous debut, and its chic and perfect red lipstick dresses are best suited for cocktails than amateur investigation. But she is also hard and intelligent, with an indomitable desire, and is not afraid: she is not from her cousin's new husband, who is threatening and attractive; Not from his father, the former patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemi; And not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Naomi's dreams with visions of blood and destruction.
His only ally in this inhospitable address is the youngest son in the family. Shy and kind, he seems to want to help Noemi, but may also be hiding the dark knowledge of his family's past. For there are many secrets behind the high place walls. The family's colossal wealth and the faded mining empire prevented them from inducing their eyes, but when Noemi deepens, she discovers stories of violence and madness.
And Noemi, mesmerized by the terrifying but seductive world of the high place, may soon find it impossible to leave this enigmatic home behind.
“It's as if a supernatural power forces us to turn the pages of the exciting Mexican Gothic.” – The Washington Post
“The Gothic Mexican is the perfect reading of summer horror, and a dark-grabic mark with its hypnotic and engaging prose as one of the most exciting talents of the genre.”-Nerdista
“A period thriller as rich in suspense as in the 50's atmosphere of Lush.” – Entertainment Weekly
