I didn’t use to read gothic novels but the books that Chanel Cleeton describes as her favorites are some of the examples of how I came to love them. The modern gothic novel is mysterious, dark and engrossing no matter if you read it on an chilly autumn day or in the dry heat of summer. Chanel’s latest, The House on Biscayne Bay, is a perfect example of the best that the modern gothic novel has to offer.

Victoria Villarreal and an ensemble cast narrate a thrilling epic set in 1950s Hollywood. Sword-and-sandal films are all the rage, so when an unknown actress--from Mexico, no less--is chosen to play Salome in the latest picture, tempers flare. Villarreal capably portrays the three main characters: Vera Larios, the unknown Mexican ingénue; Nancy Hartley, a bit player who feels cheated out of a starring role; and Salome herself.

Silvia Moreno-Garcia, whose bestselling novels include MEXICAN GOTHIC and VELVET WAS THE NIGHT, returns with THE SEVENTH VEIL OF SALOME, a kaleidoscopic, gritty historical epic. Hollywood in the 1950s is a time of upheaval: the studio system has begun to falter, and a whole new generation of actors is invading the scene. Young adults, no longer swayed by Clark Gable, long for players like Marlon Brando, donned in his signature fitted T-shirt.

Hoping to capture the attention, and dollars, of this new generation, Niemann dreams up "The Seventh Veil of Salome," a beatnik retelling of the biblical myth of Salome. But production is rocky.
