Mexican Gothic

A glamorous socialite. An isolated mansion. A family hiding something monstrous behind its walls.

After receiving a desperate letter from her newlywed cousin, Noemí Taboada travels to High Place, a crumbling mansion deep in the Mexican countryside.

There she finds a sinister aristocratic family, disturbing visions, dark secrets—and a house that seems determined to keep her from ever leaving.
