One common theme is the use of rituals. These rituals are often dark and involve things like sacrifices, chanting in strange languages, and the use of symbols associated with the devil. Another theme is the corruption of innocence. For example, children or pure - hearted characters are often targeted or influenced by the devil - worshiping forces. Also, there is the idea of a hidden world. In these stories, there are often secret cults that operate in the shadows, away from the normal world, and they are the ones carrying out the devil - worship activities.

Once upon a time, in a small, isolated village, there was a rumor of a horror devil. It was said to lurk in the old, abandoned church at the edge of the village.

She ran for her life, but the devil seemed to be everywhere she turned. She finally escaped, but she was never the same again, haunted by the memory of that night.
Well, in horror devil stories, the unknown plays a big role. We often don't know much about the devil's true powers or motives at first. There are also often victims, innocent people who get caught up in the devil's presence. Darkness and strange noises are also common. For example, in many stories, the devil is associated with the dark, and there are always creepy sounds like howls or whispers that add to the horror. And sometimes there are elements of the supernatural, like the devil being able to possess people or control the elements.

The title does suggest that it could be a horror novel. The 'devil' is often used to create a sense of fear and dread in horror literature. But it could also cross over into other genres. Maybe it starts out as a mystery with Jessica Blackwood trying to solve a case related to the 'name of the devil' and as the story unfolds, it becomes more and more horror - filled. Or perhaps it uses horror elements to enhance a different genre like a detective story. So, we can't be certain just from the title that it is a horror novel.
