Devil House by John Darnielle
4.0
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this title.
Wow, this was great. There's a nested structure that works really well for how the book wants to analyze how we tell "true crime" stories and how that's one perspective on events, and John Darnielle does a great job of making this feel like multiple true cases instead of the fiction it all is. There's a big swing taken in the middle section that I'm not sure fully connects, but I respect him making it.
