'Sometimes God is your copilot, but it's the Devil who takes you home.'
It was never just a job. Becoming a hitman was the only way Mario could cover his young daughter's medical expenses. But before long his family is left in pieces, and he's barely even put a dent in the stack of bills.
Then he's presented with an offer: one last score that will either pull him out of poverty forever or put a bullet in the back of his skull. A man named Juanca needs help stealing $2 million dollars from a drug cartel.
Together, they begin a journey to an underworld where unspeakable horrors happen every day. He's a man with nothing to lose, but the Devil is waiting for him.
Wrestling with demons of our world and beyond, this blistering thriller charts the unforgettable quest of a husband and father in search of his lost soul.©2022 Gabino Iglesias
Critic Reviews
Some of the finest, most terrifying and heartbreaking writing you will read this year. The Devil Takes You Home is not to be missed.
The Devil Takes You Home is an unforgettable neo-noir nightmare written with a poet's heart.
Complete horror sung by an angel. I was transfixed. This is superb writing.
Gives the genre a welcome shot in the arm
Here there be bloodshed, oh yes, sudden lyrical frenzies peppers over the main course of calamity. Every time you think the book got quiet, it screams again.
A ragged-edged bloody bullet-hole of a book.
Brutal, bloody and brilliant. This book will thrill and terrify in equal measures and it'll break your heart. An unforgettable ride.
[A] haunting noir thriller...a borderlands odyssey that blends noir and magical realism
Masterful. [A] brawny, serpentine and remarkably poignant novel.
A meditation on grief and rage.
Though a young writer, Gabino Iglesias writes with the authority of a writer who's been down this road many times before. Iglesias' prose is smooth where smooth is called for and rough or a bit mean when smooth won't work.
Sears itself into your mind-a book that cannot be unread.
Utterly compelling, absolutely brutal, terrifying and heartbreaking - but these words barely sum it up.
The Devil Takes You Home is an incredible slice of horror-noir, utterly unique and unlike anything I've read before
A page-turner with attitude...don't miss it.
A brutal and brilliant novel. Brace yourself for the ride-this is his best work yet.
Brilliantly written, Iglesias has created a riveting character that leaps off the page and will stay with you long after you close the book.
The Devil Takes You Home is a new kind of fiction, profoundly moving, despairing and scary all at once.
The Devil Takes You Home is a wild ride through grief, faith, loss and monstrosity. Gabino Iglesias's sharp prose and visceral, haunting vision have birthed a riveting novel no reader will soon forget. Fresh and genuinely scary.
With a noir voice reminiscent of Jim Thompson, this book charges into rage and despair, sparing no one, least of all the reader. Strap yourself in.
Some nightmares you wake from just leave you in an even worse nightmare. And then Gabino Iglesias holds his hand out from that darkness, takes you home.
The Devil Takes You Home is carried by a voice and rhythm, shaving sharp and wholly indelible. Iglesias never fails to keep a masterful foot on the pedal, feathering off the gas at times only to inevitably press it to the floor and pin us to our seats.
Pure noir, overflowing with the rage and sorrow of our times, The Devil Takes You Home is brutal, hallucinatory, and somehow, beautiful. This novel confirms what some of us already knew: Gabino Iglesias is a fierce, vital voice.
