Moreno-Garcia writes gothic horror that doesn't apologize for being both beautiful and terrifying. Noemí is the protagonist horror fiction deserves — smart, stubborn, glamorous, and absolutely not going into the basement alone. High Place is a masterclass in atmospheric dread. The house breathes. The walls sweat. The mushrooms grow where they shouldn't. Every detail is doing double duty as both gothic atmosphere and plot mechanics. The final act goes full cosmic horror and I was LIVING for it.
