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 extraña, 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... Piñata es una historia escalofriante sobre cómo las siniestras repercusiones de nuestro pasado pueden volver a atormentarnos.

In this chilling first novel by filmmaker, composer, and graphic novelist Leopoldo Gout, a ghost story call-in program opens a doorway into the paranormal. Ghost Radio reminded me of early Stephen King. The story sticks with you long after youve finished the final page. James PattersonFrom the cramped bowels of a dimly lit radio station, Ghost Radio is beamed onto the airwaves. More than a call-in show to tell scary stories about vampires and poltergeists, Ghost Radio is a sanctuary for those sleepless denizens of the night, lost halfway between this world and the next. Joaquin, the hip, melancholy host, sits deep in a fog of cigarette smoke, fielding calls from believers and detractors alike. He is joined in the booth by his darkly beautiful girlfriend, Alondra, and his engineer, Watts. Soon what began as an underground cult sensation is primed to break out to mainstream audiences. When a huge radio conglomerate offers to syndicate the show and Ghost Radio becomes a national hit with an expanding legion of hardcore fans, neither Joaquin, Alondra, nor Watts is remotely prepared for what is about to happen.When Joaquin notices a curious and troubling phenomenon, he is inexplicably drawn further and further into the terrifying stories he solicits on the radio. As he slowly loses control over his reality and finds himself unable to distinguish between the real world and the world populated by the nightmares on Ghost Radio, hes forced to confront his past and his own mortality in order to repair the crumbling wall between the living and the dead.
