BTW…if you like a good horror flick and have not seen this, this is about at creepy as it comes. What I wanted to read was something like the movie Sinister starring Ethan Hawke.
This is where he ends up in Milpitas, Ca home of the Devil House. When he writes a book he immerses himself in the story, living in the town, even as far as buying the properties these crimes happened on. I went into this book with a different expectation than I walked away with. Review: This is a very difficult book for me to review. 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.ĭevil 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. Chandler finds himself in Milpitas, California, a small town whose name rings a bell––his closest childhood friend lived there, once upon a time. 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. 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. Book Description: From John Darnielle, the New York Times bestselling author and the singer-songwriter of the Mountain Goats, comes an epic, gripping novel about murder, truth, and the dangers of storytelling.
