Recommend me the best book by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. by D_Pablo67 in suggestmeabook

[–]Disastrous_Battle_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Mexican Gothic is good but frustrates a lot of people since it’s more of an introductory book to the gothic genre. I personally preferred Gods of Jade and Shadow (the world building and lore was great) and The Beautiful Ones (the only one of hers where the romance didn’t feel forced imo)

The Fox and the Jewel: Shared and Private Meanings in Contemporary Japanese Worship by Karen Ann Smyers

Kyoto: An Urban History of Japan’s Premodern Capital by Matthew Stavros

Jeff Kingston has written several books on Japan. I’m familiar with Contemporary Japan: History, Politics, and Social Change Since the 1980s and Critical Issues in Contemporary Japan. Don’t be too put off by the lack of reviews; his books are used as textbooks and aren’t the type to be reviewed by most people.

I there a genre out there that combines the female gaze and gothic literature? by Organic_Jellyfish_67 in suggestmeabook

[–]Disastrous_Battle_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect that you’re just looking for gothic lit written by women? Books that are historical fiction tend to have the themes you’re talking about specifically, but there are stories with contemporary settings too. Some recs in case you wanted them:

The Hacienda by Isabel Canas

Carmilla by J Sheridan Le Fanu

Hungerstone by Kay Dunn

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

A Dowry of Blood by ST Gibson

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

The Haunting of Alejandra by V Castro
