When Jackie is released from prison, his boss Pino sends a limo to pick him up. Even fresh out of the joint, ruthless Jackie is ready to work, collecting money for the mob and using his special training to take care of bad accounts—permanently.

But when a drunk driver kills Pino’s young son, he gives Jackie a task that goes against every moral code. The drunk driver has a pre-teen daughter, and Pino doesn’t just want vengeance—he wants an eye for an eye.

Jackie accepts the job, but once he finds the girl he starts making plans of his own….

And the Devil Cried is a dark thriller from Kristopher Triana, the award-winning author of Gone to See the River Man and Full Brutal. It is a vicious, unflinching novel that’s bound to keep you burning.

This was more noir fiction than extreme horror. I still loved it. Jack is a guy you wouldn’t want to be friends with. He’s repulsive. The dirtiest of the dirty. Just when you think he can’t hit any lower, he does. Strangers, friends, children, it doesn't matter. Jack is not a loveable character. He isn’t even likable. He's the character you love to hate. However, he keeps your attention and engages you with wondering what happens next.

A grand slam by Kristopher Triana on this book. Flawless and Chuck Brugee did an awesome job with the narration.

Highly recommended. A pure 5-star from me.

What will Jack do next?

Triana did a great job in this book of creating a protagonist that is a completely despicable monster. Someone that with every page of the book I hated a little bit more. But at the same time, the novel was gripping. Sharp. The violence and action kept me going. Maybe to see what was next. Or maybe to see who escaped, because there was a lot of characters hurt and killed in this book. In case you haven't realized it yet, this is one of Triana's intense, don't read if you have a sensitive stomach type of books.

Jackie has just gotten out of prison. While inside he was running drugs and prostitutes for the mob; now he's out and ready to do anything for the local crime boss. Killing people is one of Jackie's favorite things. Jackie is revealed to be detestable, morally reprehensible, and has not qualms about anything. When the crime boss wants revenge for his son being killed by a drunk driver, Jackie takes to it with zeal.

Now before you start thinking "cool, a hard-boiled crime novel", the book is that but it's done with Triana's brutality. There will be scenes that are hard to get through. Intense and graphic is normal for pretty much everything Jackie does. We the readers get presented with that in a non-flinching, blunt manner. The story is addicting though. I was not disappointed by Triana and I would carefully recommend the book; it won't be for everyone. Each Triana book has been different but all have been exciting!

A despicable protagonist in a story that won't let

The main character in And the Devil Cried is abhorrent and I found myself sucked into the story, mouth agape, dying to see what happened next. If you like Full Brutal, definitely give AtDC a read.

Triana does it again!

I feel like Kristopher Triana was looking to go back to the vibe and tone of Full Brutal, but telling it as a more grounded crime novel, than a splatterpunk novel. It does bring back the same sociopathic narrative with a demented protagonist that gets off on psychological torment and breaking people to his will.

This isn't a gore fest, it really takes more inspiration from crime fiction than horror, the most violent moments are in action scenes, I'd compare things to the climax of Taxi Driver. Much of this book is the protagonist telling his story and establishing that he's always been born rotten, and has no redeeming qualities. He's a very abusive man who treats people like his property, he did some time in prison where he spent his time taking advantage of the weak. As a free man, he finds a girlfriend, just to wear her down, and manipulate her with mental and physical abuse, while he has no particular feelings for her.

When the main plot kicks in, where his gangster boss hires him to kill the 11 year old daughter of the drunk that ran over his son, the protagonist, Jackie is delighted with the prospect, nothing out of loyalty, he just really is excited for all the things he can do. This becomes a lot of, you're going to find out what he wants when he's ready to reveal his ideas. It does border on Lolita territory, but there are lines this book isn't interested in crossing, this isn't Hogg. But it's still a very uncomfortable listen.

The narrator does a great job of playing this sociopath with a heart of black stone. He doesn't over act, he delivers this grounded performance, and it fits perfectly with the tone of the book.

It's basically Full Brutal as a crime novel

I think Jackie is my new favorite character: funny, disturbing, violent, and charismatic the perfect antagonist... with that combination any story is worth a listen or read.

Loved it!!!

Though KT is mostly recognized as a horror writer, I personally enjoy his crime thrillers more as a whole. A nice companion piece to Full Brutal when it comes to sadistic protagonists. Chuck Brugee is one of my favorite narrators, so here’s to more collaborations between him and Triana: bring on A Fine Evening In Hell!!!

Incredible pitch black thriller

Another unpredictable thriller! Just when you think it can't get darker, it certainly does!

Triana does it again!

Jack is your everyday, stereotypical psychopath who just happens to be in the periphery of the Mob. Jack does a lot of bad stuff... awful stuff, but then he is tasked with making a man suffer by doing something unspeakable the man’s little girl.

You take it from there.

This story got the full 5 because it didn't "go there" with some of the violence. It was either implied or never happened at all. But you thought it would...

That's horror!

Jack is a very, very bad man.

What makes this so disturbing is Triana’s ability to write a character with zero qualms about victimizing the most innocent. It’s really unsettles you because we are not used to seeing these characters treated this way but obviously in an extreme horror genre, the rules are different. Triana is great at toying with your emotions.

Victimization of the innocent

It ended abruptly to me, but overall the book was awesome. The narrator was clear and concise….not to mention the story kept my attention. A definite must read!

Hmm….?
