A Little Red Riding Hood Re-telling The closer I get to him, the harder it is to tell if Vail is my protector... or my greatest threat. Lily Rhodes never believed in fairy tales—until one started coming after her. In the shadow of a haunted forest, she leads a quiet life working at her grandmother's antique shop, blissfully unaware of the dark legacy that has followed her family for generations. When she stumbles upon a mysterious mask that pulls her into a world of ancient curses and dangerous magic, Lily learns that her bloodline is tied to the infamous Red Cloaks—warriors who once protected the world from the Wolf King, a fearsome ruler banished long ago. But the Wolf King has returned, and he wants Lily to wear the cursed mask and free him from his prison. Torn between her duty to stop him and the dark temptation of the power it offers, Lily must navigate a treacherous path. Her only ally is Vail, a cursed knight bound to the Wolf King by an ancient spell. As their connection deepens, Lily must decide if she can trust him—or if he's just another part of the trap laid by the devilish forces within the forest. With the fate of both the human world and the magical realms at stake, Lily must face her deepest fears, unlock the power within her, and confront the devil in the shadows. But wearing The Devil’s Mask comes at a price—and the line between hero and villain blurs with every step she takes.

The second book by prize-winning Japanese novelist Fuminori Nakamura to be available in English translation, a follow-up to 2012's critically acclaimed The Thief─another fantastically creepy, electric literary thriller that explores the limits of human depravity─and the powerful human instinct to resist evil. When Fumihiro Kuki is eleven years old, his elderly, enigmatic father calls him into his study for a meeting. "I created you to be a cancer on the world," his father tells him. It is a tradition in their wealthy family: a patriarch, when reaching the end of his life, will beget one last child to cause misery in a world that cannot be controlled or saved. From this point on, Fumihiro will be specially educated to learn to create as much destruction and unhappiness in the world around him as a single person can. Between his education in hedonism and his family's resources, Fumihiro's life is one without repercussions. Every door is open to him, for he need obey no laws and may live out any fantasy he might have, no matter how many people are hurt in the process. But as his education progresses, Fumihiro begins to question his father's mandate, and starts to resist.

Book Description

Steeped in the folklore of Eastern Europe, and set in the shadow of Nazi darkness erupting just beyond the Czech border, this bone-chilling, richly imagined novel is propulsively entertaining, and impossible to put down. "A wildly entertaining story...Russell has created a truly frightening story." —The New York Times Book Review Czechoslovakia, 1935: Viktor Kosárek, a newly trained psychiatrist who studied under Carl Jung, arrives at the infamous Hrad Orlu Asylum for the Criminally Insane. The facility is located in a medieval mountaintop castle surrounded by forests, on a site that is well known for concealing dark secrets going back many centuries. The asylum houses six inmates--the country's most treacherous killers--known to the terrified public as the Devil's Six. Viktor intends to use a new medical technique to prove that these patients share a common archetype of evil, a phenomenon he calls The Devil Aspect. Yet as he begins to learn the stunning secrets of these patients, he must face the unnerving possibility that these six may share a darker truth. Meanwhile, in Prague, fear grips the city as a phantom serial killer emerges in the dark alleys. Police investigator Lukas Smolak, desperate to locate the culprit (a copycat of Jack the Ripper), turns to Viktor and the doctors at Hrad Orlu for their expertise with the psychotic criminal mind. And Viktor finds himself wrapped up in a case more terrifying than he could have ever imagined.
