A review by reasselin
Devil House by John Darnielle

adventurous emotional mysterious reflective tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Occasionally challenging to read, with writing styles and voices changing, Devil House was two different books for me - a times a page-turner, other times a chore. 

Darnielle’s huge ambitions for the work payed off and both plot and general concepts from the book will stick with me.
