"Darnielle brings a lyrical, literary tone to a novel that's part crime, part horror and wholly original."—Bookpage
From John Darnielle, the New York Times best-selling author and the singer-songwriter of the Mountain Goats, comes an epic, gripping novel about murder, truth, and the dangers of storytelling.
Gage Chandler is descended from kings. That’s what his mother always told him. Years later, he is a true crime writer, with one grisly success—and a movie adaptation—to his name, along with a series of subsequent less notable efforts. But now he is being offered the chance for the big break: to move into the house where a pair of briefly notorious murders occurred, apparently the work of disaffected teens during the Satanic Panic of the 1980s. Chandler finds himself in Milpitas, California, a small town whose name rings a bell—his closest childhood friend lived there, once upon a time. He begins his research with diligence and enthusiasm, but soon the story leads him into a puzzle he never expected—back into his own work and what it means, back to the very core of what he does and who he is.
Devil House is John Darnielle’s most ambitious work yet, a book that blurs the line between fact and fiction, that combines daring formal experimentation with a spellbinding tale of crime, writing, memory, and artistic obsession.

Beautiful.

There’s a lot to dig here: beautiful prose, big questions about the nature of story, storytelling, and the responsibility of storytellers.
Ultimately I was left a little hollow by the end but overall the journey was solid enough.

The story itself was great but at times I struggled with the chapter changes…most of the book is told from the second person perspective, the author addressing “you” referring to different characters as you, as if he is speaking directly to them. It can be a bit confusing at the start of the chapter before understanding which you the author is addressing. There is also a few chapters at the end where the “camera” zooms out a few more frames a new “you” is introduced which again, was jarring at first.
Despite me typing a whole paragraph about this, it was a minor flaw in an otherwise very enjoyable book. Darnielle captures the human element perfectly, as he does in his music, creating eminently relatable characters out of folks who at first blush one would say are nothing like us. His way with words can at times be so simple and yet so effective (and affective). I laughed, I cried, I felt for these characters. All of them. Except maybe Michael lol.
Recommend for: true crime fans, enjoyers of Darnielle’s other works

Books narrated by the author get a whole 'nother level intensity, especially when the author also happens to be a great vocal performer.
Just finished; time to reread
