"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 swallowing the dreams of young women--is a character in this marvelously fantastical novel, stretching from glamorous 1950s Mexican high society to the crumbling pride of an abandoned silver mine. Silvia 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 "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 and 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 "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 "An intense, beautiful monster of a novel . . . Moreno-Garcia's gothic plot is as sharp as a razor and twice as dangerous." --A. J. Hackwith, author of The Library of the Unwritten "So powerful I sometimes had to look away . . . plays all the classic Gothic tropes with deft confidence while weaving in a much more modern and visceral strain of horror." --Vivian Shaw, author of the Dr. Greta Helsing series "Lovely . . . reminded me of the old Mary Stewart romance mysteries mixed with a healthy dose of Lovecraftian horror. Moreno-Garcia is a master." --Jenn Lyons, author of The Ruin of Kings "Stylish and sinister . . . a gothic masterpiece." --Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author of Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds, "Mexican Gothic terrified and fascinated me. Silvia Moreno-Garcia proves once again that she's a genre-jumping wizard, one of the most exciting and necessary authors writing today." --Charlie Jane Anders, nationally bestselling author of The City in the Middle of the Night "Darkly brilliant and captivating . . .
