About this product

Product Information

From the author of Gods of Jade and Shadow comes a reimagining of the classic gothic suspense novel, a story about an isolated mansion in 1950s Mexico--and the brave socialite drawn to its treacherous secrets. He is trying to poison me . You must come for me, Noem . You have to save me. After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noem 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 Noem knows little about the region. Noem is also an unlikely rescuer: She's a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are 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 husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noem ; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with visions of blood and doom. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family's youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noem , but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family's past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noem digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. And Noem , mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.

Reviews
"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 . . . Readers who love old houses and family secrets will devour this book (as I did!).

  • Wonderful story, difficult structure to read

    Wonderful story, reminds me a bit of Jordan Peele's movie Get Out but set in a remote mountain village in Mexico. My one complaint is not with the actual story, but with the copy I received. When uploaded to my Kindle the spacing was all messed up. The structure of the lines makes absolutely no sense, I'm sure it can't be intentional, but it makes it very difficult to follow the story when a sentence abruptly moves to the next line in the middle of it.

  • Not what I expected and not in a good way.

    I guess I expected more but for me I did not enjoy this book. The story line was unusual but somehow it just wasn't. I read a lot, had read the reviews but was disappointed.
