The Devil Takes You Home
by Gabino Iglesias
☆ Shortlisted for the 2023 Edgar Allan Poe Awards
The Devil Takes You Home by Gabino Iglesias is a weird and wonderful book, more horror/tragedy than mystery, though it does have a satisfying twist. It takes place between the US and Mexico and has been described as 'barrio noir.' The book is a surprising mixture of religion and the supernatural, Mexican drug cartels and murder, drug addiction and the unfairness of the US healthcare system, English and Spanish. The story is told through the eyes of Mario, the kind of character you keep wishing wouldn't do what he's about to do.
