Über diesen Titel
From an award-winning author comes a genre-defying thriller about a father desperate to salvage what's left of his family—even if it means a descent into violence.
Buried in debt due to his young daughter’s illness, his marriage at the brink, Mario reluctantly takes a job as a hitman, surprising himself with his proclivity for violence. After tragedy destroys the life he knew, Mario agrees to one final job: hijack a cartel’s cash shipment before it reaches Mexico. Along with an old friend and a cartel-insider named Juanca, Mario sets off on the near-suicidal mission, which will leave him with either a cool $200,000 or a bullet in the skull. But the path to reward or ruin is never as straight as it seems. As the three complicated men travel through the endless landscape of Texas, across the border and back, their hidden motivations are laid bare alongside nightmarish encounters that defy explanation. One thing is certain: even if Mario makes it out alive, he won’t return the same.
The Devil Takes You Home is a panoramic odyssey for fans of S.A. Cosby’s southern noir, Blacktop Wasteland, by way of the boundary-defying storytelling of Stephen Graham Jones and Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

Kritikerstimmen
One of Harper’s Bazaar's Best, Buzziest New Books of 2022
One of Crimereads 16 Horror Novels to Look Out for This Year
"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." (Paul Tremblay, best-selling author of Survivor Song)
"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." (Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Only Good Indians)
"An intoxicating story of a man in desperate financial straits who turns himself into a hitman and accepts a highly dangerous contract on a cartel transport operation. The job takes him and two others across Texas and further into an abyss of violence, existential dread, and paranormal happenings” (Crimereads)

Incredible
I’m very picky when it comes to audiobooks because it’s hard for me to find a narrator and a story that draws me in and keeps me interested enough to finish the story. The moment it started only a few sentences in, I was hooked.
The story is heartbreaking, violent and scary. There a parts I couldn’t normally read in a book or see in a movie but the book had me in its grip.
I can’t really explain what’s so different about this book you probably have to experience it yourself. I highly recommend it!!!
