Mexican Gothic is what happens when you decide to tell the story of colonisation as it actually is: A horror story. The classic genre fit so well with the themes the author addressed. I was uncomfy the entire time which is in fact the point so she did her job well!
Graphic: Racism and Colonisation
Moderate: Rape
