“The walls speak to me. They tell me secrets. Don’t listen to them, press your hands against your ears, Noemí. There are ghosts. They’re real. You’ll see them eventually.”

Silvia Moreno-Garcia: Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this the tale of the big gothic house

Moreno-Garcia: mexican gothic
Moreno-Garcia: so there's this debutante from Mexico City
Moreno-Garcia: and she has to visit her cousin who's married this weird english guy
Moreno-Garcia: and now lives in this big creepy house in the boonies with his weirdly english family
Moreno-Garcia: being weirdly english
Moreno-Garcia: so the mexican woman from the big city has to deal with these weird secluded in-bred white people
Lovecraft: what kind of topsy turvy world is this
Lovecraft: up is down, black is white
Lovecraft: i just don't know what to believe!
Moreno-Garcia: these english people, let me tell you
Moreno-Garcia: they love to just sit around, being mopey, eating shitty english food, refusing to mix with the locals, formulating weird race science theories
Lovecraft: i really don't see the problem
Mary Shelley: sup fuckers

Shelley: oh damn i take it back
Shelley: that IS gothic
Lewis: that's hard core
Radcliffe: TWO dead wives?!??!
Moreno-Garcia: and there's a family plot that's got marble busts of the dead wife
Shelley: oh hell yeah that's the way to do it

This house is sick with rot, stinks of decay, brims with every single evil and cruel sentiment. I have tried to hold on to my wits, to keep this foulness away but I cannot and I find myself losing track of time and thoughts. Please. Please. They are cruel and unkind and they will not let me go. I bar my door but still they come, they whisper at nights and I am so afraid of these restless dead, these ghosts, fleshless things.
Silvia Moreno-Garcia, excerpt from Mexican Gothic
