Description
"Carmen Sánchez está de regreso en su país de origen, México, supervisando la renovación de una antigua catedral en un hotel boutique. Sus hijas adolescentes, Izel y Luna, están con ella durante el verano y se fueron a pasar las tardes sin supervisión en una ciudad extranjera. Los lugareños tratan a las mujeres Sánchez como forasteras, mientras que los contratistas de Carmen desafían y sabotean abiertamente su trabajo. Después de un accidente desastroso en el sitio de construcción que casi hiere a Luna, Carmen ya tuvo suficiente. Se ven de vuelta en Nueva York, Luna comienza a actuar de manera extra�na, y solo Izel nota los escalofriantes cambios que le ocurren a su hermana menor. Pero podría ser demasiado tarde para que la familia Sánchez escape de lo que ha despertado..."--,Provided by publisher
Description
"A Head Full of Ghosts meets Mexican Gothic in Piñata, a terrifying possession tale by author and artist Leopoldo Gout. They were worshiped by our ancestors. Now they are forgotten. Soon, they will make us remember. It was supposed to be the perfect summer. Carmen Sánchez 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 Sánchez family and heralding a coming catastrophe. And it may already be too late to escape what's been awakened...:--,Tor Publishing Group
