Dusk to Dawn: Reading Horror and Weird Fiction
Welcome to Dusk to Dawn, Reading Horror and Weird Fiction! We post every two weeks discussing novels and short stories from old to new, the literary and the pulp. We look at tropes, themes, and plot points of our current read, and mention what we’ve been reading in between episodes. If it scares us or makes us squirm, we’re on it.
There are plentiful spoilers, so read the episode’s book first if you want to avoid them. Tell your friends about us and enjoy the show!

Discussing Piñata by Leopoldo Gout
A little girl takes a piñata from the ancient ruins of a church in Mexico. It is a very bad idea and when she takes it back home to new York with her family, things begin to spiral out of control. As a possession takes hold, grasshoppers jump scare the Sanchez family and swarms of butterflies smash like hail against the windows. Will they be consumed by their vengeful ancestors, or is there hope to put things to rest and live peacefully again?
