The difference between horror and gothic is whether it takes place in a house or a castle and the past or the present, right?
Anyway, Moren0-Garcia is the absolute queen of the contemporary gothic. Her stories are a brilliant blend of contemporary sensibilities and a fidelity to history where the former drives the arc of the plot and the latter controls the content. It's so good and then she just digs in and really gets the genre and I'm mad at myself for having had this book sitting around for so long without actually picking it up and reading it.
