"A superb choice for fans of Jonathan Stroud's Lockwood & Co. series, Tom Booth's Eerie-on-Sea books, and creepypastas." ―Booklist, Starred Review

The next installment in The Doomsday Archives introduces an alluring new occult relic and a sinister new foe—a masked monster that lures victims with visions of their hearts' desires.
Unlike her friends Emrys and Serena, Hazel is struggling to adjust to magic and to their new roles as the secret protectors of New Rotterdam. She's already worried about her mom, who works endless shifts at the hospital to make ends meet, and now she also has to worry about defending their entire town from supernatural forces. If only Hazel could figure out how to use her relic, the Magnus Crown, which has the power to transform matter, including turning lead into gold . . . gold that would certainly help ease her family's financial issues.
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 Eliopulos.

      Three friends must stop a monster who's stalking their town. Hazel is struggling to learn how to use the Magnus Crown, the artifact she chose in the first series entry. It's especially frustrating because the crown is supposed to have alchemical powers, and Hazel and her single mother, a hardworking nurse, could really use some gold. Even though a mysterious philanthropist named Julius Worthmann has been donating large sums of money to her mom's hospital, the impact seems to be mostly cosmetic. At the same time, Hazel and her friends Emrys and Serena realize that another monster is going after the residents of New Rotterdam--one that uses its victims' own deepest wishes against them. Hazel suspects there's a connection between Worthmann and the monster, but will she become the next target before she and her friends can take the creature out? Readers will read with bated breath as the trio explore the dark corners of the hospital one step ahead of the dark forces, and they'll cheer Hazel on as she draws upon her scientific knowledge to work with her magical artifact. This installment furthers the overarching mystery of the sinister Yellow Court, who use their "collection of otherworldly relics" to harm the town, while also delivering an enjoyable monster-of-the-week plot. Readers will eagerly anticipate more adventures. The first volume established that Emrys and Hazel are white, and Serena is Black. Final art not seen. Satisfying thrills and chills.(Horror. 8-12)
