About this listen

 An obsession with an immortal serial killer entangles a vampire hunter’s daughter in a sapphic romance in this enthralling gothic fantasy from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lucy Undying.

“Grisly and electrifying, innovating and moving . . . Kiersten White never misses.”—Alison Saft, author of A Dark and Drowning Tide

Anneke has a complicated relationship with her father, Abraham Van Helsing—doctor, scientist, and madman devoted to the study of vampires—until the night she comes home to find him murdered, with a surreally beautiful woman looming over his body. A woman who leaves no trace behind, other than the dreams and nightmares that now plague Anneke every night.

Spurred by her desire for vengeance and armed with the latest forensic and investigatory techniques, Anneke puts together a team of detectives to catch this mysterious serial killer. Because her father isn’t the only inexplicable dead body. There’s a trail of victims across Europe, and Anneke is certain they’re all connected.

But during the years spent relentlessly hunting the killer, Anneke keeps crucial evidence to herself: infuriatingly coy letters, addressed only to her, occasionally soaked in blood, and always signed Diavola.

The closer Anneke gets to her devil, though, the less sense the world makes. Maybe her father wasn’t a madman after all. Diavola might be something much worse than a serial killer . . . and much harder to destroy. Yet as Anneke unearths more of Diavola’s tragic past, she suspects there’s still a heart somewhere in that undead body.

A heart that beats for Anneke alone. Fantasy Gothic Historical Horror Romance

“Delicious and immersive . . . Anneke is a heroine of wit, courage and imagination, and she leads us through an intricate gothic mystery in a richly imagined past.”—Claudia Gray, New York Times bestselling author of The Murder of Mr. Wickham

“Deeply immersive . . . From each exquisite murder to each obsessive encounter, The Fox and the Devil is as mesmerizing as its otherworldly characters.”—Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings

“Utterly captivating! Kiersten White just keeps getting better with every new release. I couldn’t get enough!”—Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author of Electric Idol

“Grisly and electrifying, innovative and moving . . .

“Unholy, exquisite, and utterly hypnotic, The Fox and the Devil prowls through the darkest reaches of the human heart with lyrical menace. This velvet-dark fever dream drips with dread and beauty, its monsters rendered with aching elegance. Anneke and Diavola’s twisted bond unfurls like a blood-stained ribbon—lush, terrifying, and impossible to turn away from. A decadent, shadow-crowned masterpiece: haunting, brutal, and breathtaking.”—Carolina Flórez-Cerchiaro author of Bochica

“Horror’s most versatile author strikes gold once again with The Fox and the Devil, a chilling twist on classic detective stories that propels readers through a macabre, kaleidoscopic tour of fin de siècle Europe. I fell completely under the sway of these indelible characters.”—Jennifer Thorne, author of Diavola

“White (Lucy Undying) writes another fantastic twist on vampire/revenant mythology with this book that offers a sapphic romance and tidily pulls the next generation of Van Helsings into the story. Grim and gruesome, this novel isn’t for the faint of heart, but it is an excellent read.”—Library Journal, starred review
