“This creepy, fast-paced read brings a fresh voice to horror.... Fans of Paul Tremblay, Stephen Graham Jones, and V Castro will devour this bloody tale of vengeful spirits and the dark legacy of colonialism.”―Booklist 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 won't lie, I was expecting more from this book. In the entirety it gave basic. It gave been there, done that just in a different country. I agree that the characters were cut and dry. Nothing in this story added flavor. Well, let me back up. I did like the beginning a lot, which is why it is a 2 instead of a 1. The only horror was in the beginning. Everything else was just... something you have seen a million times. Not only that Leopoldo writing on women's struggles while making the mother the most basic man-written female just... pisses me off. You took a single mom BLAME ALL ON HERSELF while letting the DEAD BEAT ASS father just... go. Nahh...
