Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “It’s never quite the book you think it is. It’s better.” —Dwight Garner, The New York Times 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. 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.

Book Description
Growing up in middle class Toledo, Ohio in the 1980s career choices were somewhat limited to working in factories or in the medical field. I came from a very stable home as the oldest of six kids with two hard working parents that provided for us but didnt spoil us. Our parents gave us a private education grades 1 - 12 and my Father helped get me a summer job to pay for college at the local General Motors plant where he worked. In college I had two majors, one in Political Science and one in Communications. As part of my Communications major I got an internship at the local rock n roll radio station which resulted in becoming the morning show producer for the the well known morning show team of Karlson and McKenzie with that radio station. This story is about what happened from there. Its about dealing with the unpredictable changes that happen with your company and your career and what happens when they overlap. Its also a story about who and what can influence your decision to stay, or to leave.
