Ep 18: The Mentally Metal Gymnastics of Repurposed Goths

Welcome back to EYE! We're loudly greeting Spooky Szn this September with our book of the month, "Mexican Gothic" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Today’s Prep-isode (get it…?) will spotlight several crucial elements to enrich and support your reading of "Mexican Gothic" along with us. Moreno-Garcia’s gothic horror novel is an onion of dark symbolism with parallels to disturbing historical truths. Check out this episode to reveal the Word(s) of the Month, motifs and symbols, and our really chaotic dissection of the main characters’ names. Is the nomenclature accurate?!
