Histoire
In an alternate history of Detroit, the Motor City was never surrendered to the US. Its residents deal with pollution, poverty, and the legacy of racism—and strange and magical things are happening: children rule over their own kingdom in the trees and burned houses regenerate themselves. When Gloria arrives looking for answers and her missing granddaughters, at first she finds only a hungry mouse in the derelict home where her daughter was murdered. But the neighbours take pity on her and she turns to their resilience and impressive gardens for sustenance.

The Jazz Age is in full swing, but Casiopea Tun is too busy cleaning the floors of her wealthy grandfather’s house to listen to any fast tunes. Nevertheless, she dreams of a life far from her dusty small town in southern Mexico. A life she can call her own. Yet this new life seems as distant as the stars, until the day she finds a curious wooden box in her grandfather’s room. She opens it - and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan god of death, who requests her help in recovering his throne from his treacherous brother.

Histoire
Ana and Reid needed a lucky break. The horrifically complicated birth of their first child has left Ana paralyzed, bitter, and struggling: with mobility, with her relationship with Reid, with resentment for her baby. That's about to change with the words any New Yorker would love to hear—affordable housing lottery. They've won an apartment in the Deptford, one of Manhattan's most revered buildings. Reid dismisses disturbing events and Ana’s deep unease and paranoia as the price of living in New York—people are odd—but he can't explain the needle-like bite marks on the baby.

Finding seeds of inspiration in the Brothers Grimm, seventeenth-century French lore, and Scottish ballads, Kelly Link spins classic fairy tales into utterly original stories of seekers—characters on the hunt for love, connection, revenge, or their own sense of purpose. Twisting and winding in astonishing ways, expertly blending realism and the speculative, witty, empathetic, and never predictable—these stories remind us once again of why Kelly Link is incomparable in the art of short fiction.

From New York Times best-selling author Stephen Graham Jones comes a novel that is equal parts psychological horror and cutting social commentary on identity politics and the American-Indian experience. Fans of Jordan Peele and Tommy Orange will love this story as it follows the lives of four American-Indian men and their families, all haunted by a disturbing, deadly event that took place in their youth. Years later, they find themselves tracked by an entity bent on revenge, totally helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in a vengeful way.

A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort—a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other "Bunny", and seem to move and speak as one.

In Téa Mutonji’s disarming debut story collection, a woman contemplates her Congolese traditions during a family wedding, a teenage girl looks for happiness inside a pack of cigarettes, a mother reconnects with her daughter through their shared interest in fish, and a young woman decides to shave her head in the waiting room of an abortion clinic. These punchy, sharply observed stories blur the lines between longing and choosing, exploring the narrator’s experience as an involuntary one.

Anna does boring things for terrible people because even criminals need office help and she needs a job. Working for a monster lurking beneath the surface of the world isn’t glamorous. But is it really worse than working for an oil conglomerate or an insurance company? In this economy? A sharp, witty, modern debut, Hench explores the individual cost of justice through a fascinating mix of millennial office politics, heroism measured through data science, body horror, and a profound misunderstanding of quantum mechanics.

Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “It’s Lovecraft meets the Brontës in Latin America, and after a slow-burn start Mexican Gothic gets seriously weird.”—The Guardian
IN DEVELOPMENT AS A HULU ORIGINAL LIMITED SERIES PRODUCED BY KELLY RIPA AND MARK CONSUELOS • WINNER OF THE LOCUS AWARD • NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, NPR, The Washington Post, Tordotcom, Marie Claire, Vox, Mashable, Men’s Health, Library Journal, Book Riot, LibraryReads
An isolated mansion. A chillingly charismatic aristocrat. And a brave socialite drawn to expose their treacherous secrets. . . . From the author of Gods of Jade and Shadow comes “a terrifying twist on classic gothic horror” (Kirkus Reviews) set in glamorous 1950s Mexico.
After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí 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 Noemí knows little about the region.
Noemí 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 Noemí; 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 Noemí, 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 Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.
And Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.
“It’s as if a supernatural power compels us to turn the pages of the gripping Mexican Gothic.”—The Washington Post
“Mexican Gothic is the perfect summer horror read, and marks Moreno-Garcia with her hypnotic and engaging prose as one of the genre’s most exciting talents.”—Nerdist
“A period thriller as rich in suspense as it is in lush ’50s atmosphere.”—Entertainment Weekly
Ce que les critiques en disent
“An inspired mash-up of Jane Eyre, Ann Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho, Dracula, Rebecca and that 1958 classic sci-fi movie, The Blob . . . Inventive and smart, [Mexican Gothic is] injecting the Gothic formula with some fresh blood.”—NPR’s Fresh Air
“Stylish and edgy. . . While the book draws inspiration from Gothic classics like Rebecca and Jane Eyre—there is a spunky female protagonist and an ancient house filled with disturbing secrets—its archly intelligent tone and insightful writing make Mexican Gothic an original escape to an eerie world.”—New York Times
“[An] irresistibly dark feminist reimagining of the Gothic fantasy novel . . . It’s all wonderfully creepy, blending chilling scenes of horror with classic Gothic tropes for a seductive and subversive tale. A book to devour in a few—very thrilling—sittings.”—Vanity Fair

Narrator is truly awful
I have no idea whether the story is any good because I could not continue past the first couple of chapters, thanks to the fingers-on-the-chalkboard diction of the narrator. Her diction is so bad, that the listener stops concentrating on the story, and instead focuses on how irritating it is to listen to her. She pronounces every syllable as if she believes she is reading for an ESL audience, or believes that this type of diction sounds more sophisticated (she reads with an American accent)? I have no idea. Every syllable is over-enunciated to a point where it is actually not easily understood. She reads "certainly" as "cer-tan-ly", "greeted" as "gree-ted", "eaten" as "ea-ten", etc. Even English people do not say "cer-tan-ly". That middle syllable is meant to be swallowed --in any accent. Good diction is, of course, key for a narrator --but this is not good diction. It is wrong diction.

Awful narrator
First written review on here as a public service lol this narrator sounds like the kid in class who really didn’t want to read and makes it awkward for everyone listening. I liked the story a lot but I had to listen past the narrator which is hard, very robotic except for one name she really enjoyed saying. I’m eager to try another book from the author and see if I can enjoy it more!

weird and wonderful
This story was creepy and unsettling in the best way. Very original.
I had one issue with the narrator - it was hard to tell what was internal vs external dialogue. I wasnt always sure if the character said certain things to others or was just thinking them. Otherwise it was very well done!

weird but great
Well, that got weird.
This was a lot, and I enjoyed it. A bit gothic, a bit sci-fi (or maybe eco-horror?), it was over-the-top and frequently disgusting. The plot was strange and unpredictable, most of the characters completely hateful (ooh, they made me mad), and a sympathetic main character. The writing was occasionally clunky but engaging. The ending was satisfying. I might have to check out more from the author.

This Book Gave Me Nightmares
Not the kind of nightmares that you wake up screaming from, more like creepy dreams. This book definitely has some eerie moments. I went into this audiobook hesitantly as I had read Gods of Jade and Shadow, also by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and didn’t really enjoy it. However, I needn’t have worried, this book is gripping. Moreno-Garcia is excellent at painting a picture with her narrative and I felt transported to High Place Mannor in El Triunfo.
The main character, Noemi, feels very real. Moreno-Garica wrote her as an educated socialite in the time just before women got the right to vote in Mexico. Noemi seems like she could have existed in that time and place. Other characters felt just as real.
Narrator Frankie Corzo helped to transport me back in time to 1950s Mexico. I thought she did an admirable job narrating the story, there were times she could have added more emotion to her voice, but it wasn’t enough to pull me out of the story.

Atrocious narration
I honestly don’t think I’ve heard a worse narrator. She spoke in the most monotone voice and the voices she had for different characters were awful. She didn’t act anything out. If a character spoke and it said the character was whispering, she wouldn’t whisper. If it said the character chuckled, she wouldn’t chuckle. You couldn’t get immersed into the story whatsoever because of how bad she was.
The story itself was super slow paced and boring. There’s a moderately interesting twist but that’s about it. Really wish I hadn’t wasted my money on this book.
