From New York Times bestselling author and Mountain Goats singer songwriter John Darnielle an
epic gripping novel about murder truth artistic obsession and the dangers of storytelling.
Gage Chandler is a true crime writer with one grisly success - and movie adaptation - to his
name along with a series of subsequent lesser efforts that have paid the bills but not much
more. Now he is being offered the chance for his big break: to move into 'The Devil House' in
which a briefly notorious pair of murders occurred apparently the work of disaffected 1980s
teens. He begins his research with diligence and enthusiasm but soon the story leads him into
a puzzle he never expected - his own work and what it means the very core of what he does and
who he is.
