The Devil Takes You Home

by Gabino Iglesias

Description

A tense, darkly lyrical novel that follows a young man drawn into a web of violence, desire, and moral compromise, where every choice seems to carry a hidden cost. As the story unfolds, he navigates a world of shifting loyalties and dangerous encounters, confronting the ways grief and longing can be exploited—and the thin line between survival and self-destruction. With its propulsive momentum and intimate, character-driven intensity, the book explores themes of fate versus agency, the seductions of power, and what it means to “go home” when home has become unsafe. Written in Gabino Iglesias’s distinctive voice—sharp, atmospheric, and emotionally charged—this is a haunting descent that lingers long after the final page.
