AB Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno García analyses the social situation of Mexico of the 1950s.A female gothic heroine guides the reader from a quiet town to a haunted house located ina remote village. She unveils the secrets of the Doyle’s family, hidden behind the walls ofthe manor and in the crypt, and investigates the relationship of the members of the housewith the house, while they keep her trapped inside. Noemí, the protagonist is helped by theghost of Ruth, a deceased member of the family, and both women together end the rule ofthe patriarch of the family, Howard Doyle. The final collapse of the house and the death ofthe members of the family means an end to the colonial period of the area leaving the localinhabitants and the surrounding environment free from submission. The aim of this articleis to show how ecogothic serves as a theoretical approach to denounce the submission of thehuman and the more than human by means of colonial practices beside demonstrating thatthe real monsters are the colonizers.
