    Atmospheric, slow-burn horror
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2020*

This has been one of the most anticipated horror novels of the year, so I was excited when my copy arrived and I finally had the opportunity to dig in to it.  From the title and description, I expected to read a fairly classical Gothic tale, transposed to the Mexican setting.  This expectation was partly fulfilled, though there's a lot more going on in this book than the established tropes of the Gothic genre.The important thing to know about this book is that, though it is a horror novel, the horror elements are fairly understated through most of the book.  It's very much a slow-burn story, allowing the reader time to gradually get to know the characters and the setting before delivering its climax.  On many levels, this is effective, though I do think the pacing is a little bit off.  I don't mind a slow burn of a story, but after an intriguing opening, the middle section seems to drag on a bit longer than it ought, offering tidbits of information about the horrific mystery at the novel's heart in small doses and in a way that doesn't particularly add to the story's tension.  Once the stakes have been established fairly early, these revelations do enrich the reader's understanding, bit by bit, of what's really going on, but they don't seem to raise the stakes much, making the novel's middle section a bit of a slog.The slow-burn character of the novel does finally reverse itself in the final third or so of the book, when a final set of revelations come in rapid succession, building to a true climax.  In fact, these climactic revelations seem to come a bit too rapidly, once again short-changing dramatic tension in favor of bringing the plot closer to its conclusion.  The novel's pacing would have been better had the revelations built more gradually to a crescendo.Issues with pacing aside, I found it overall to be an enjoyable read.  The reader will have no trouble liking or disliking the characters according to how the author means them to be viewed.  While some characters are better-developed than others, they do provide an interesting ensemble.  The writing style occasionally veers toward the wordy or "flowery," but always stops just short of the point at which it becomes too much so, giving the book a haunting, almost meditative sort of characteristic.Endings in horror are often difficult to get right, because once one knows what the evil (or the "big bad") actually is, it immediately loses much of its power to terrify.  Admittedly, the revelation of this novel's big bad strains the limits of the willing suspension of disbelief a bit, but it nevertheless leads to an ending that's more satisfying than those of most horror novels.It's far from a perfect book, but it's well worth a read.

    Surprisingly disappointing!
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2020*

I'm truly puzzled by all of the good reviews for this book, not just from Amazon readers but from major newspapers and periodicals.  Based on those reviews--from sources in which I usually have some faith--I couldn't wait to get my copy and dive in.  Not only do I enjoy the shivers that great examples from the genre of supernatural dread and "magical realism" can provide, I was excited to learn more about Mexican legends, culture, etc.What an incredible letdown!  The writing.....well, not meaning to be too unkind about it, but it was amazingly juvenile.  No sense of the time period (the 1950's), no sense of location (most of the characters are British!  So why even set it in Mexico??), no real sense of atmosphere (except for the usual cliches:  fog, bad dreams, dark corridors, old cemeteries, assorted fungi), and no real narrative drive.  The character of Neomi is kind of interesting, but her behavior and thoughts seem anachronistic.  It was a chore to slog through the so-called "thrilling" and "terrifying" climax, as the vast majority of reviews described it.  In fact, at times it seemed unintentionally funny.  Or maybe intentionally?  I often had the feeling that the author felt that she was "slumming" for the bestseller horror crowd by throwing in every predictably gross and worn-out image she could conjure up (probably giggling all the way), checking off what she thought such a readership might be expecting.If you want to read about indescribable eldritch horrors, dig out your old Lovecraft books instead.  If you want modern psychological horror or true magical realism, try Ramsey Campbell, Paul Tremblay, R.B. Russell, Michael Marshall Smith, Rebecca Lloyd.  If you want "creepy" that will stay with you for years, read Robert Aickman.  If you want visceral horror with classy thriller writing, read Scott Smith's THE RUINS.This is the most over-hyped "horror" novel since BIRD BOX.  But maybe that's just because most readers don't really want to be haunted by their horror reads.

    Incredible read!
  

*by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2020*

Where do I even start with this book? Wild ride start to finish, and I found myself paranoid about every plot event after a little while. Even towards the end, the ending had like 10 different directions it could have gone and every twist I was convinced it would go one way. I am satisfied with the ending we got, and it is better than what I was expecting.I already know that when I get my copy in the mail, I'm probably going to re-read it because this was a crazy adventure.The first chapter might be a little slow to you, but seriously give it a few chapters and you'll be sucked in to this weird house and all the weird events going on inside. Everyone is creepy and it basically feels like everyone is constantly balancing between betrayal and death every chapter. The last 30% was some of the most tense moments I have ever read and now I'm kinda scared my dreams will be haunted by *insert the antagonist here*. Also there is a very common thing that is a recurring element and I'm paranoid about it now. So this is DEF a creepy book.
