Una pesadilla de momentos inesperados: reseña de "Gótico"

Para amantes de historias como "Hasta el Viento Tiene Miedo" y "La Cumbre Escarlata" 😲😍📚

Cuando me encontré por primera vez con este libro, hace un par de años, mientras buscaba reseñas de otros textos que quería descargar para mi Kindle, lo primero que se me vino a la mente fue “Qué curiosa y bonita portada tiene“.  Porque creo que eso es lo primero que llama la atención al verlo: una chica a medio rostro, con un vestido en tono burdeos muy del estilo de la moda de mitad del siglo…

Gótico mexicano

Las fiestas en la casa de los Tuñón siempre terminaban tarde, y dado que los huéspedes disfrutaban las fiestas de disfraces en particular, no era extraño ver chinas poblanas, con las faldas tradicionales y listones en el cabello, llegar en compañía de un arlequín o de un vaquero.

Gótico - Reseña

Gótico – Reseña

Tras recibir una extraña carta de su prima recién casada, Noemí Taboada se dirige a High Place, una casa en el campo en México, sin saber qué encontrará allí. Noemí no parece tener dotes de salvadora: es glamurosa, más acostumbrada a asistir a cócteles que a las tareas de detective. Pero también es fuerte, inteligente y no tiene miedo: ni del nuevo marido de su prima, un inglés amenazante y…

Barcelona, August 2023. As a result of the events that took place this morning and the perplexity of the speech made by the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Mr. Luis Manuel Rubiales Béjar, the players of the senior national team, recent world champions, in support of Jennifer Hermoso, wish to express their firm and resounding condemnation of conduct that has violated the dignity of women.

In view of the statements made by the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Jennifer Hermoso wishes to categorically deny that she consented to the kiss that was given to her by Mr. Luis Manuel Rubio at the World Cup Final. "I want to clarify that, as was seen in the images, at no time did I consent to the kiss he gave me and, of course, in no case did I seek to lift up the president. I do not tolerate my word being called into question and much less that they invent words that I did not say".

From our union we want to stress that no woman should have to answer back to the blunt images that everyone has seen and, of course, they should not be involved in unacceptable attitudes.

The players of the Spanish national football team, current world champions, expect strong responses from the public authorities so that actions such as those contained in this document do not go unpunished.

We would like to end this statement by calling for real structural changes that will help the national team to continue to grow, in order to be able to pass on this great success to future generations. It fills us with sadness that such an unacceptable act is tarnishing the greatest sporting success of Spanish women's football.

After everything that happened during the Women's World Cup medal ceremony, we would like to state that all of the players who have signed this letter will not return to a call-up to the national team if the current management continues.

Lot 7: Mexican Reliquary.

Silver gilt and jade, with glass dome containing a human tongue. 17th-18th century. 18½ inches.

"Once her husband was by her side, she bid the men in the crowd to kill and feast upon the viscount, which they did, leaving nothing but his tongue."

This is one of the illustrations I made for the Dagon Collection book, with a little extract from the story written by the fantastic Silvia Moreno-García!

Hello everyone, my name is Artemis and this is my (re) introduction to the writeblr community, I will try to use this account more since I'm trying to get back into writing!

Basic info ;

My name is Artemis, I'm 21 years old and my pronouns are she/her. I follow from my main blog @girltomripley !!

I'm Mexican, English is not my first language so I write most of my stuff in Spanish, but I sometimes translate it in case I want to share it with someone else.

Some of my favorite stuff: Taylor Swift, movies (my top 4: The Talented Mr. Ripley, Somewhere, Broadcast News, and Ghost World), Silvia Moreno García books, 60s-90s Hollywood, alternative rock music, Taylor Jenkins Reid books.

What I like to write about: Dramedy stories, often set in the 20th century, family drama, father/daughter relationships (bonus points if they're not actually related), road trip stories, characters of color, women leads, and queer relationships.

I am currently studying illustration and concept art in college, so other than writing, drawing is something I also enjoy doing (and I hope to share here as well).

While I don't post a lof of NSFW stuff (and if I do, I'll tag it), I'd prefer if you were at least over 16 if you want to be mutuals!

Please interact with this post so we can be mutuals! And don't be afraid to send me an ask/message me to talk about your own stories/ask about mine!

My WIP'S ;

While I do have multiple of unfinished works in progress, most of them are just ideas or fanfics. My main WIP and probably the one I'll talk about the most is In the Angel's City:

In the Angel's City (drama) ; A hollywood story following a screenwriter and her search for answers behind the death of a famous star; all with the help of a retired actor who disappeared from the public eye.

(more stories under the cut)

Roadrunners (drama) ; Two childhood friends embark on a cross-country journey with a free-spirited young woman they just met, as a romance between the trio blossoms.

Andy You're A Star! (thriller) ; Things turn sinister for average Andy when he meets dark and mysterious James, who drags him along a murderous path (based on The Killers' songs!!)

Neon Bible (horror) ; A small town in Mexico is divided when the child of one of the most important families starts claiming to hear voices and see things that aren't there: half the town believes it must be the devil's work while the other tries to find a medical solution. The situation escalates with the arrival of a foreign guest, who clashes immediately with one of the most beloved and respected men in town.

Game & Performance (drama) ; Carmen, a problematic CEO of a makeup brand decides to escape to a Greek island with her husband after being accused of scamming her clients. Carmen worsens her problems by starting a relationship with a man much younger than her.

(I'll be updating this section as I make intro posts for these)

I'm having a hard time acquiring media from Colombia. I want to read books and watch shows FROM Colombia BY Colombians. I'm not advanced enough to read Cien años de soledad or La Casa de los espíritus; I need something like Twilight or The Handmaid's Tale, except written BY a native hispanohablante FOR hispanohablantes. I hope this makes sense.

Thank you in advance for ANY help you (or your followers) can offer me. I love you.

I'm not really sure about Colombia specifically (aside from Encanto, though also Casa de los espíritus is technically from a Chilean author but regardless)

As far as Spanish-speaking things, I don't read a lot of YA things in Spanish so I wouldn't know what to say aside from House on Mango Street but that's very specifically YA but not fantasy

One of the more prominent authors that comes up for contemporary YA writers that speak/write in Spanish is Laura Gallego García who is from Spain but wrote the Memorias de Idhun trilogy as well as La leyenda del rey errante and also the Guardianes de la Ciudadela series

I know of some other authors like Mario Vargas Llosa, or Carlos Ruiz Zafón

The closest authors I know of that fit your criteria would be maybe Julian Delgado Lopera though he's not really a fantasy writer... or there's Silvia Moreno-Garcia who I don't know if that's really your thing but wrote Gods of Jade and Shadow, and also Mexican Gothic which I think have Spanish versions too but definitely more Mexican-centered than Colombian

Followers? Any suggestions?

Oh dude, I am reading "Mexican Gothic" by Silvia Moreno-García and I NEED a fanfic like that with SpUk

where Antonio is called to the Kirkland mansion to discover the mystery of that house that is poisoning one of his relatives. Of course located somewhere in northern Spain. Honestly, the dynamic between Noemí and Francis, Noemí an extroverted woman, with a somewhat strong but kind character and a more liberal self with Francis, someone who is more shy, reserved, grumpy and has a melancholic past. That totally reminded me of Antonio and Arthur.

I will finish the novel and see if I write myself a fanfic like that, I would love to put references to 19th Century literature like Don Juan Tenorio or the lyrical stories of Gabriel Miro, ofc Wuthering Heights and Carmilla.

Plus:

In Mexico there is a town that was previously dedicated to mining called "Real del Monte" that has influences in terms of Spanish architecture from the colonial period but also elements of English Victorian architecture from the English migration to the country for the mining industry during the 19th century. Real del Monte, It's where "Mexican Gothic" takes place.

April - June 2023 | Reading Wrap Up

Hello hello, it's me!

Another three months have passed, which means I'm back with a reading wrap-up! I've done much much better these past few months because my pace of life has changed, which hopefully means I'll have way more time to read now than I had had until now. Yay for positive changes!

Code: books read in English are in black, books read in Spanish are in red and the book I read in French is in blue.

APRIL (3) • Everything I Know About Love: A Memoir - Dolly Alderton • De la Terre à la Lune (Baltimore Gun Club #1) - Jules Verne • A Rational Arrangement (Arranging Paradise #1) - L. Rowyn

April, if slow, was good: Dolly Alderton's memoir was absolutely amazing (although it wasn't until almost 60% when it convinced me because the beginning was very slow), I tackled my French reading goals with a Jules Verne I bought in a flea market in France, and I finally read A Rational Arrangement, after being threatened into it by a couple of friends for months. It was good, but not enough to read its sequel novella!

MAY (7) • Duke I'd Like To F...: A Historical Romance Anthology (Duke I'd Like to F... #1) - Various authors • Loxandra - María Iordanidu, translation by Selma Ancira • Mafalda, volumes 1-2-3-5-8-9-10, edited by Lumen - Quino • I'm So (Not) Over You - Kosoko Jackson

May had a lot of rhythm to it: I started with what I can only describe as "vaguely historical, mostly porn" (fun and entertaining); continued with a really good journey into the Greece at the beginning of the century with Loxandra (very recommended!); followed by seven volumes of the adventures of Mafalda, a very popular Argentinian comic strip not too dissimilar from Calvin and Hobbes, although it's more political and socially critical; and ended with a gay rom-com. Honestly, brilliant all around.

JUNE (6) • Viajes con Heródoto - Ryszard Kapuscinski, traslation by Agata Orzeszek • Una furtiva lágrima - Nélida Piñon, translation by Roser Vilagrassa • A Week to Be Wicked (Spindle Cove #2) - Tessa Dare • Emoji Pride and Prejudice: Epic Tales in Tiny Texts - Chuck Gonzales & Katherine Furman • Supersaurio - Meryem El Mehdati • Gods of Jade and Shadow - Silvia Moreno-García

And June was the month I saw my TBR, tackled it, and beat it into submission by reading four books that had been on it for YEARS. All of them were very good, I honestly don't know why I waited that long... I also picked up a Tessa Dare for light reading (as usual, very fun) and read a new-to-me Brazilian author, Nélida Piñón, who sadly wasn't it for me. But overall I'm very happy with my month!

In other notes, I've kept participating in the Goodreads group La vuelta al mundo en 80 libros (I do recommend it if you can read or discuss in Spanish!) and I joined the wonderful Forgotten YA Gems' Summer Reading Bingo Challenge once again (fifth edition!! Time flies!), which means it's time for a fancy bingo card update now that the first month has finished:

- New to you author: Una lágrima furtiva - Nélida Piñon, translation by Roser Vilagrassa - Heard about it online: A Week to be Wicked (Spindle Cove #2) - Tessa Dare - Retelling/adaptation: Emoji Pride and Prejudice: Epic Tales in Tiny Texts - Chuck Gonzales & Katherine Furman - #ownvoices: Supersaurio - Meryem El Mehdati - On TBR forever: Gods of Jade and Shadow - Silvia Moreno-García

Not doing too bad, I think!

All in all, I'm very happy with my reading progress and my yearly goals are on track -how are yours doing?

It should surprise none of you that I loved Powell's City of Books. One more famous bookstore checked off my bucket list!

I walked away with Julia Armfield's Our Wives Under the Sea and a signed edition of Silvia Moreno-García's The Daughter of Doctor Moreau—plus a souvenir or three.

The library and rainy weather is such a happy place.

The book I am reading is "What moves the dead" by Ursula Vernon. I started it today. Is my "to go" book since "Great Expectations" is too big to carry on my small bag.

So far interesting reminds me of "Mexican Gothic" by Silvia Moreno García.

last year I downloaded Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno García from library genesis but I could not finish it because the prose struck me as vapid and too YA. Today at the library I was looking for Toni Morrison books (I have finished Beloved), and I saw that the library had two (2?!) copies of Gods of Jade and Shadow (both authors filed under FIC MOR), so I am giving it a second try.

I am only one chapter in, thus far, but somehow, the writing style seems way less insipid when printed on paper as opposed to read on my phone. Which is... interesting. I read Beloved on my phone via Libby, and, as previously posted, found it intellectually challenging, so it cannot just be the phone dumbing things down.

But we will see how I feel as I read more. I remember being disappointed that the gods in question did not seem otherworldly, or frightening, or magical really. It seemed to me an offshoot of those generic Greek myth fanfiction novels, but taking place on the Yucatan peninsula instead...

3, 4, 17 for the book ask!

3. What were your top five books of the year?

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno García. A gothic horror set in México in the 50s, it follows a young woman going to the aid of her cousin. Said cousin has just married into a mysterious English family who owns a silver mine in a remote mexican town. I've always seen a lot of hype around this book so I was a bit wary (also, I think the title is a bit goofy), but it ended up being incredible. Moreno García's prose is out of this world and the story was scary and twisty.

Distancia de Rescate (Fever Dream) by Samantha Schweblin. Short novela that blew my mind. Very hard to sumarize without spoiling anything, I think the title translation does honor to how it feels to read it. Set in Argentina, it deals with themes like motherhood, environmental issues and fear.

Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica's Journey Into the Dark Antarctic Night by Julian Sancton. A recounting of a real Belgian antarctic expedition in the 1800s, where their ship got stuck in the ice for nearly two years. A well reserached survival story. Interesting and well written, never dull. I read this on a ship and I recommend the experience

Las Cosas que Perdimos en el Fuego (Things We Lost in the Fire) by Mariana Enríquez. A short story collection from one of Argentina's top horror writter. A good introduction to her work, it quickly shows why she's a master of the craft. Deals with issues like misogyny, poverty, argentinian politics, etc.

House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland. Three sisters went missing as children and returned changed, odd, different. Now as adults the older sister goes missing again, prompting the other two to search for her and finally unravel what actually happened to them. This is labelled as young adult but it doesn't feel like it. It was dark, slightly gory, intriguing. Stunning prose, I liked it so much I read it twice.

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

Krystal Sutherland, I'm eagerly waiting for her next book. Marian Enríquez, I already checked out herr other short story collection from the library.

17. Did any books surprise you with how good they were?

I randomly got approved for an advanced reader's copy of a book about an automaton. It's called Miracles and Machines: A Sixteenth-Century Automaton and Its Legend. It's an illustrated volume about a monk automaton in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History. The book details how it was made, how it works, and everything people have done to track down its origins. I was surprised by how interesting it was and how much I learned.

Thank you so much for asking!

I've been on a reading spree lately, which is rare. I'm kinda proud of myself, to be honest. I've read, among others:

Babel, by Rebecca F. Kuang (Excellent, loved it)

The Secret History, by Donna Tartt (Equally excellent, loved it too)

The Once and Future Witches, by Alix E. Harrow (Amazing book!)

Mexican Gothic, by Silvia Moreno-García (Nice!)

The Starless Sea, by Erin Morgenstern (Didn't like it that much?)

A Master of Djinn, by P. Djèlí Clark (Ok I guess)

Along with some other stuff in Spanish (Sara Mesa, Mariana Enríquez...).

If anyone wants to talk books, I'll be happy, even if I'm not very good at answering messages consistently.
