Después de recibir una carta frenética de su prima recién casada pidiendo ayuda para escapar de un destino misterioso, Noemí Taboada se dirige a High Place, una casa distante en el campo mexicano. No está segura de lo que encontrará: el esposo de su prima, un apuesto inglés, es un desconocido, y Noemí sabe poco sobre la región. Noemí es una rescatadora poco probable: es una debutante glamorosa, y sus elegantes vestidos y su perfecto lápiz labial rojo son más adecuados para fiestas de cóctel que para investigar. Sin embargo, es fuerte e inteligente, con una voluntad indomable, y no tiene miedo: ni de su nuevo esposo, que es tanto amenazante como seductor; ni de su padre, el antiguo patriarca que parece fascinado por Noemí; ni siquiera de la casa misma, que comienza a invadir sus sueños con visiones de sangre y fatalidad. Su único aliado en este inhóspito lugar es el hijo menor de la familia. Tímido y gentil, parece querer ayudar a Noemí, pero también podría estar ocultando oscuros secretos del pasado de su familia. Detrás de las paredes de High Place hay muchos secretos. A medida que Noemí profundiza, descubre historias de violencia y locura. Y cautivada por el mundo aterrador y seductor de High Place, pronto podría encontrar imposible dejar atrás esta enigmática casa.

Three women in different eras confront danger and witchcraft in this eerie multigenerational horror saga. Nana Alba often recounted tales of witches to her great-granddaughter Minerva, shaping her fascination with horror literature. Now a graduate student, Minerva is researching Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author known for macabre tales. As she assembles her thesis, Minerva discovers that Tremblay's famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by true events from the Great Depression. Tremblay, who attended the same university as Minerva, became obsessed with her beautiful and mysterious roommate, who vanished under enigmatic circumstances. As Minerva delves deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she feels a sinister presence reminiscent of the malign force that haunted Tremblay and the missing girl. These unsettling occurrences echo Nana Alba's stories of her girlhood in early 1900s Mexico, where she had a chilling encounter with a witch. Minerva suspects that the same dark shadow that plagued her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay now threatens her in 1990s Massachusetts. The pursuit of an academic career can be grueling, but it may become deadly when witchcraft is involved.

Spanning a variety of genres--fantasy, science fiction, horror--and time periods, Silvia Moreno-Garcia's exceptional debut collection features short stories infused with Mexican folklore yet firmly rooted in a reality that transforms as the fantastic erodes the rational. This speculative fiction compilation, lyrical and tender, quirky and cutting, weaves the fantastic and the horrific alongside the touchingly human. Perplexing and absorbing, the stories lift the veil of reality to expose the realms of what lies beyond with creatures that shed their skin and roam the night, vampires in Mexico City that struggle with disenchantment, an apocalypse with giant penguins, legends of magic scorpions, and tales of a ceiba tree surrounded by human skulls.
