But before Hazel can crack the Crown's secrets, the trio discover a chilling new monster is hunting in New Rotterdam, luring its victims with visions of what they desire most. To Hazel's horror, the monster seems to know exactly what's in her heart and how to reel her in . . .With eerie black-and-white illustrations by Julian Callos and chilling Wiki excerpts, The Heart-Stealer Mask continues the deliciously creepy Doomsday Archives series by Zack Loran Clark and Nick EliopulosNew Rotterdam is no place for a kid--and that's what Emrys Houtman likes about it.
