Mexican Gothic

This was a really good, twisted variation on the haunted house trope. It's Gothic horror set in Mexico on land owned by a British family that used to employ the locals to work under terrible conditions in their silver mine. It's smart, sassy, and weird with themes of racism, colonialism, and eugenics. My only complaint with it is that it has very little Mexican culture in it. I thought it would have had more based on the title. But I really enjoyed it, keeping me pretty creeped out through the most of it. It's just been nominated for a Nebula Award and was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award, both for 2020.
