Pitch-Perfect 'Mexican Gothic' Ratchets Up The Dread

Noémi's dreams become haunted: A woman whose face is a golden cloud tries to speak, accompanied by visceral dread. Dream Virgil appears, a figure of lust and terror. A dead woman repeatedly tells Noémi to open her eyes. Where the dreamworld ends and reality begins feels uncertain. Noémi wonders whether she is losing her mind..

This is Silvia Moreno-Garcia's greatness as a storyteller. She makes you uneasy about invisible things by writing around them. Even when you think you know what lurks, the power to unsettle isn't diminished.is a pitch-perfect Gothic novel. The Gothics knew the only thing more full of horrors than the landscape is the human heart, that the human heart is a haunting.

To help us through, there is a bright whisper of goodness — Noémi's wit and vivacity, even as the Doyles pick her apart with criticism, Francis's quiet will, light growing where it shouldn't. You will want to see this heroine succeed, you'll desperately root for her escape; as desperately, you will want other characters to fall.
