"""Gout puts a unique twist on a classic possession story by incorporating Indigenous Mexican lore into the gory plot."" --Publishers Weekly ""Gout succeeds in presenting a thought-provoking, violent, and immersive revenge-horror story and excels in restoring the rich history of an erased people."" --Library Journal ""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 ""Piñata is a slow-burning story of corruption and cosmic revenge that makes a nice alternative to same old same old scuffles with crosses and holy water.""--Esquire"
