The Buddies unearth the horror section this week with Silvia Moreno-Garcia's, Mexican Gothic. The Buddies didn't… love this one per say. They got to talking about the Get Out similarities, Eminem's lyric connection, and “atmospheric writing”. So light yourself a cigarette, we needed a few whilst reading this one. And Join us as we discuss/attack Mexican Gothic. Intro/Book Report(0:00-3:03)Stock Up/Down (3:04-22:33)Favorite Scene/Character (22:34-27:12)Love/Hate (27:13-37:20)Conclusion (37:21-39:05) NEXT BOOK: Before the Fall by Noah Hawley

Mexican Gothic Author Comes to Jacksonville Silvia Moreno-Garcia, the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic, is coming to Jacksonville for Hispanic Heritage Month. Her latest novel is a historical drama set in Hollywood, following three different point of view characters all tied to the production of a movie inspired by the Biblical story of Salome. FEATURED BOOK: The Seventh Veil of Salome 1950s Hollywood: Every actress wants to play Salome, the star-making role in a big-budget movie about the legendary woman whose story has inspired artists since ancient times. So when the film's mercurial director casts Vera Larios, an unknown Mexican ingenue, in the lead role, she quickly becomes the talk of the town. Vera also becomes an object of envy for Nancy Hartley, a bit player whose career has stalled and who will do anything to win the fame she believes she richly deserves. Two actresses, both determined to make it to the top in Golden Age Hollywood—a city overflowing with gossip, scandal, and intrigue—make for a sizzling combination. Silvia Moreno-Garcia is the author of a number of critically acclaimed novels, including Gods of Jade and Shadow (Sunburst Award for Excellence in Canadian Literature of the Fantastic, Ignyte Award), Mexican Gothic (Locus Award, British Fantasy Award, Pacific Northwest Book Award, Aurora Award, Goodreads Award), Velvet Was the Night (finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the Macavity Award), and her newest book, The Seventh Veil of Salome, which was a Good Morning America Book Club pick for August 2024. Mexican by birth, Canadian by inclination. Cachanilla and Canuck, originally from Baja California, Silvia now resides in Vancouver. She has an MA in Science and Technology Studies from the University of British Columbia. Interviewer Michelle Lizet Flores is a graduate of the FSU and NYU creative writing programs. She currently works as a Creative Writing Instructor at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts and co-hosts the What's in a Verse Poetry Open Mic at Rain Dogs. Publications include The NCTE English Journal, Salt Hill Journal, and The Talon Review. A finalist for the Juan Felipe Herrera Award for Poetry, she wrote the chapbooks Cuentos from the Swamp and Memoria, and the picture book, Carlito the Bat Learns to Trick or Treat. Her short fiction is in the anthology, Places We Build in the Universe. Invasive Species, her first full-length collection of poetry, is currently available from Finishing Line Press.

Aus einer Schnapsidee geboren und als eine von vielen Aktionen im Rahmen des 10-jährigen Vereinsjubiläums gestartet ist der Book Club, der Lesezirkel der Deutschen Lovecraft Gesellschaft. Der Book Club liest moderne lovecraftsche Literatur und tauscht sich dann bei entspannter Atmosphäre in virtuellen Treffen auf dem Discord-Server der dLG über ihre Leseerfahrungen aus, spekuliert gemeinsam darüber, wie es weitergehen könnte und verliert sich manchmal auch in unerwartete und spannende Diskussionen rund um das Gelesene. Laura hat in dieser Folge die dLG-Mitglieder Antonia und Jens zu Gast, die den Book Club ins Leben gerufen haben. Zusammen sprechen sie über das Konzept und die Entstehung des Book Clubs, über Diversität bei moderner lovecraftscher Horror-Literatur und über Zukunftspläne (denn obwohl das Jubiläumsjahr sich dem Ende zuneigt, ist beim Book Club kein Ende in Sicht). Außerdem haben Antonia und Jens zwei bestimmte Bücher mitgebracht, die im Laufe dieses Jahres beim Book Club gelesen wurden und für Begeisterung sorgten: “Winter Tide” von Ruthanna Emrys und “Mexican Gothic” von Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Die beiden geben einen (relativ) spoiler-freien Einblick in diese Werke und sprechen gemeinsam mit Laura über die darin aufkommenden Themen und darüber hinaus. Ist das vielleicht der Beginn einer ganzen Book-Club-Buchgespräch-Serie im dLG-Radio? Wer weiß… ;) Links: Infoseite zum Book Club Anstehende Termine des Book Clubs im dLG-Kalender Discord-Server der dLG Credits: Intro gesprochen von Jenny Seewald Outro von Huan Vu mit freundlicher Genehmigung Ambiances/Musik von http://tabletopaudio.com (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)

We talk about cursed films and taking inspiration from classic horror movies, weaving in Lovecraftian influences, dark magic and Nazi history into her novel-homage to horror fandom and film history.  Silver Nitrate is available in all bookshops. ***Produced and presented by Anna Bogutskaya. Artwork by Ewa FerdynusMusic: "Time to Leave" by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio.***The Final Girls is a weekly podcast exploring the history of horror film.→ Support us on Patreon for bonus content.→ Follow us on Twitter and Instagram.→ Find out more about our projects here: thefinalgirls.co.uk

In this episode, the four ladies dive into the chilling mystery of Mexican Gothic, following Noemí Taboada as she ventures to the eerie High Place to save her cousin from an unknown doom. With her striking debutante style clashing against the haunting secrets of a wealthy, troubled family, we explore themes of resilience, allure, and the darker sides of legacy. Join us as we unravel the captivating blend of horror and glamour in this gothic tale.

It's our 150th episode! Very fittingly, it's a book club episode, which is the entire reason this podcast exists. In this episode, we're talking about Jette's pick, The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and we loved reading more of Moreno-Garcia's work. Show NotesWe can't believe we've recorded 150 episodes of book content! Of those episodes, 38 have been book club discussions. That's...a lot of books. And somehow our TBRs are still threatening to topple over. It was way back in Episode 59 that we talked about Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. This book is loosely based on The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. Wells, which was published in 1896. The film of the same name starring Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer came out in 1996. Our next episode is another instalment of Page to Screen and we'll be discussing Under the Bridge by Rebecca Godfrey and the series adaptation of the same title. Our next book club pick is Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo. Other Books MentionedBy Silvia Moreno-Garcia — Silver Nitrate, Certain Dark Things, Velvet Was the Night, The Seventh Veil of SalomeBy H.G.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2023/11/01/thinking-aloud-about-film-the-witchs-mirror-chano-urueta-mexico1962/ The Witch's Mirror/ El Espejo de la bruja (Chano Urueta, Mexico, 1962) is an immensely entertaining film that is being screened on MUBI as part of their ‘Spectacle Every Day: The Many Seasons of Mexican Cinema' series. There are claims that it is a ‘uniquely Mexican Gothic' but we don't quite agree. Indeed, in the podcast we relate it to Rebecca, Frankenstein, Eyes Without a Face, The Skin I Live In, The Beast With Five Fingers and other well-known films it was clearly influenced by or itself influenced. It is a derivative if visually inventive film, with a director who has an eye for composition, who keeps the camera moving, tells the story at a clip, and who knows how to make the most out of roughly a cast of four performers doing their outmost in about three sets. It's a considerable achievement in its own terms and great fun to see though those looking for depth will be disappointed.

On this edition of Rebel Music Karla López Owens speaks with the Mexican-Canadian writer Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Silvia has written in many styles – including fantasy, noir, and speculative fiction — but some of her best known works are in the horror genre – including the novels Mexican Gothic and Silver Nitrate. Activism has also been a theme in Silvia's work,  her 2021 novel Velvet Was the Night is against the backdrop of the 1971 Corpus Christi Massacre in Mexico City - where over 120 protesters were killed.

From best-selling novels like "Mexican Gothic" to blockbuster media hits like "The Last of Us," it seems like everyone is buzzing about fungi these days. Think of it as your houseplant's weirder, spongier, and creepier cousin. Fungi have a significant role in decomposition, which adds to their eerie reputation. However, they can also serve as food, a recreational drug, a source of medicine, and even a multi-story residence if you happen to be a Smurf. As we delve deeper into the world of fungi, things get even stranger. Did you know that the largest organism on Earth is a fungus? Fungi can have thousands of different genders, and they reproduce and communicate in ways that we are just starting to comprehend. Yet, there are dedicated individuals attempting to unravel these mysteries. Meet Dr. Leslie Holland, a mycologist specializing in the study of fungi. She joined the University of Wisconsin's Department of Plant Pathology in 2020, where she focuses on researching how fungal diseases impact fruit crops. With a teaching schedule that most professors can only dream of, Dr. Holland is the perfect person to demystify the fascinating world of fungi. Join me for an enlightening conversation with her as we separate fact from fiction when it comes to these remarkable organisms.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

Hello everyone! In this episode I talk about on of my recent reads, Mexican Gothic by Sylvia Moreno-Garcia and the documentary Free Solo available on Disney+. I hope you enjoy it!Shop: https://bookshop.org/shop/ReadingWithChristineFigs Contact: ReadingWithChristineFigs@gmail.com

Welcome back! This week the ladies reviewed "Mexican Gothic" by Silvia Moreno- Garcia. (Warning, this episode contains spoilers for the book.) In this book, a family of in-bread colonizers living in a mold laced haunted mushroom house in the Mexico City country side, try to hold main character Noemi, and her cousin, Catalina hostage in this creepy hellscape. The Doyle family, originally from England, planned to use the women's wombs as incubators. The goal?... An effort to diversify their incestuous gene pool, while simultaneously preserving the twisted patriarch's tainted bloodline in an effort to obtain immortality! Gross and weird! It's giving serious Lord Voldermort vibes!!! Of course Kat finds a way to slide in a Star Trek reference, and they also have a fundamental disagreement on what they would have done at the end of the book. Tune in to find out what had the ladies divided! *Dedication: To the listeners: * To our listeners always, to indigenous people all over the world and the Latinx community and finally Kat's late father, that dude Buster.

Developed largely by Sir Francis Galton as a method of "improving" the human race, eugenics was increasingly discredited as unscientific and racially biased during the 20th century, especially after the adoption of its doctrines by the Nazis in order to justify their treatment of Jews, disabled people, and other minority groups." -www.dictionary.com *Inbreeding Habsburg family history: https://www.britannica.com/topic/House-of-Habsburg https://www.thetealmango.com/featured/habsburg-jaw-the-horrific-consequences-of-royal-inbreeding-in-europe/ https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/hapsburg-monarchy *Edgar Allen Poe Poem :The Raven and the fall of the house of Usher. https://gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/analysis-of-poes-poems-the-raven-and-the-fall-of-the-house-of-usher/ *Mushroom healing power: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7525158/#:~:text=With%20the%20research%20advances%2C%20numerous,being%20the%20most%20remarkable%20ones. **Stranger than Fiction: * James Patterson claims white male writers face ‘another form of racism,' can't break into writing - The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2022/06/14/james-patterson-white-male-writers-racism/ *Please email thefabpodcast@gmail.com with your book suggestions and "Stranger Than Fiction" stories so we can share them on the show!! *Reach out and let us how we are doing!!

In today's Books with Hooks, Carly and CeCe evaluate the same three query letters, and in the process, they offer solutions for when your novel doesn't seem to have any similar comps; remind us of the importance of story-forward curiosity; and explain what's necessary in historical fiction to ensure the feel of a certain time period.After which, Bianca chats with Isabel Cañas, author of The Hacienda, about the inspiration for the book; carefully choosing your comps; the archetypes of the gothic novel; overturning canons deeply rooted in English literature; writing modern takes on 19th century settings; when writing feels like a fever dream; overcoming rejection and writing what you're passionate about; pivoting when it comes to genre; writing in sprints; allowing some degree of pantsing so that characters can have agency, because your subconscious knows what it's doing; and how having no agent is better than having a bad agent.   Find us on our socials:Twitter: @TSNOTYAW @BiancaM_author @carlywatters @ceciliaclyra Instagram: @biancamarais_author @carlywatters @cece_lyra_agent @ the_shit_about_writing Facebook: @tsnotyaw Website: www.biancamarais.com and www.theshitaboutwriting.com Isabel can be found at @Isabelcanas_ on Twitter and Instagram, and at www.isabelcanas.com
