Devil House By John Darnielle:

Devil House critics: “Why did this book not focus on one murder? Why did it delve into ‘truth’ and ‘the dangers of storytelling?’ Why would I want to read about the crisis of faith a true crime author has even though it’s described in the summary?”

#read a different book then?#idk what else to tell you #book had me in tears #the incongruity of memory is one of john’s most common themes and I feel it’s largely under represented #and here he’s legitimately writing about how fictionalized memory gets built so it’s five stars from me #spoilers in these tags:#{buffer tag………….}#yes #the last page is unsatisfying #the page before the last page tells you that’s what our protagonist feels about the murder he was supposed to write about #hell he tells you that really early too #so no I’m not going to call it bad writing #ESPECIALLY because the final ‘let down’ is from someone else’s perspective #it’s illustrating its own point #cansglasschrome #the mountain goats #ish #devil house

A cave I will never, ever get out of, you said: your exact words. A cave that probably has other people in it, maybe a lot of them, and sometimes you think you can hear them around you or behind you or ahead of you, talking, crying, pounding on the walls, but you can’t be sure because the pain is making you crazy, and to be crazy is to have more noises in your head than usual. A cave that can disguise itself as a morgue, or a coroner’s office, or a courtroom, or a bedroom, or the bathroom, you said: a cave you carry around with you like a chair you have to sit in wherever you go, and, to everybody else, it just looks like a normal chair, but to you it’s the top of a slide, and every time you sit down on it you head down into the depths.

plain text: You wished now that you had kept a diary then, but who thinks of keeping a diary when their life feels like yours: uncertain when not frightening, disorienting when not destabilizing.

Reading reviews of Devil House: Wow, this is proof that making good music doesn't make you a good writer. What was this even supposed to be about?

Reading Devil House I have cried* three times and I think two of my mental illnesses are fixed.

#*I teared up #I only cry once a year #devil house #the love for the outcast #the compassion for the human behind the narrative #the rage on behalf of the outcast
