WARREN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER 2023
“Mexican Gothic” by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Glamorous Noemi heads to the Mexican countryside after receiving a frantic letter
from her newly-wed cousin. Here she finds her menacing new husband, his ancient
father, and a house that invades her dreams. Determined to dig up the family's past
and save her cousin from a mysterious doom, her only ally is the family's youngest son,
who may be hiding a dark secret. The more Noemi digs, the more she uncovers the
family's terrifying past, but the more she finds it impossible to leave.

“Fever in the Heartland” by Timothy Egan
The Roaring Twenties was the height of the KKK in the Heartland. D.C. Stephenson, a
charismatic man who rose to power quickly, was the mastermind behind bringing the
group out of the shadows as their message was proudly endorsed from church pulpits,
family picnics, and town celebrations. However, it was a seemingly insignificant
woman who revealed his secret cruelties and brought the KKK to their knees.
