Next week is the release of Mexican Gothic. You can download a book club kit, which contains, among other things, a paper doll of the protagonist. There’s a playlist inspired by the novel on Spotify if you want to listen to music.

The book has been featured in a variety of outlets, including Oprah Magazine, where you can read an excerpt. I hope you’ll consider buying a copy or requesting it from your library.

Finally, please admire the serpent artist Sara Bardi drew for me and which appears above this post.
