Part gothic tale and part horror story, Mexican Gothic is a great, fast-paced tale set in the 1950s. Beautiful, wealthy young Mexico City socialite Noemí Taboada sets out to a remote area of Mexico to visit - or rescue - her ill cousin, who after a hasty marriage to a white son of former silver barons, has sent Noemi's family a very odd, disjointed letter of appeal. What we and Noemi find in the crumbling mansion in the misty mountains is quite the tale, with creepy bumps in the night, sardonic societal criticism, and a satisfyingly tough heroine.
