About this ebook
A Best Horror Book of the Year (Esquire)!
A Head Full of Ghosts meets Mexican Gothic in Piñata, a terrifying possession tale by author and artist Leopoldo Gout.
It was supposed to be the perfect summer.
Carmen Sanchez is back in Mexico, supervising the renovation of an ancient abbey. Her daughters Izel and Luna, too young to be left alone in New York, join her in what Carmen hopes is a chance for them to connect with their roots.
Then, an accident at the worksite unearths a stash of rare, centuries-old artifacts. The disaster costs Carmen her job, cutting the family trip short.
But something malevolent and unexplainable follows them home to New York, stalking the Sanchez family and heralding a coming catastrophe. And it may already be too late to escape what’s been awakened...
They were worshiped by our ancestors.
Now they are forgotten.
Soon, they’ll make us remember.

I enjoyed this story. It has a lot of horror and suspense, and I believe if you like these element you are going to enjoy reading this story. I will be looking forward to more of this author’s writings. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. This is my honest and voluntary review
