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.

Pages : 208
Book Description
In this ingenious novel that brings reality TV to the printed page, drama levels go through the roof as six outrageous characters fiercely compete to win $100,000. The most controversial characters from Brenda Hampton’s bestselling novels come together for a reality TV show in a house that could unite— or destroy—them all. Roc Dawson from Full Figured, Chase Jenkins from Don’t Even Go There, Sylvia McMillan from SLICK, Jada Mahoney from How Can I Be Down?, Jamal “Prince” Perkins from Street Soldier, and Jaylin Rogers from the Naughty Series attempt to put aside their overwhelming differences and calm their unique personalities. Without supervision, though, anything could happen inside Hell House—especially when there’s $100,000 at stake. And these six cutthroat contestants are determined to have it all. Overflowing with drama, raunchiness, and manipulation, survival by any means necessary is their primary focus, but only those with tough skin will make it to the next round. Who will be the last person standing, and who will walk out, slamming the door behind them and screaming at the top of their lungs?

Book Description
Based on a True Story. In 2012, Keith Linder and his girlfriend took up residency in a Seattle suburban home. Within days of moving in, they became victim to some of the most hellish treatments attributed to malevolent activity. Prepare yourself, because this tale is like no other. A well written Forward lets you know what's about to come. Hell is coming. Pure hell. Keith Linder has not only decided to share his horrible experience. But he's also decided to include video and audio evidence (in the order of which they occurred). Video reenactments of what scared him the most. Aftermath pictures of what attacked them combined with the audio and video evidence are what set this book apart from other haunted tales. Finally, the truth comes out about what happened in that house. What Keith and his girlfriend lived through and equally important what others before him lived through is spread throughout the book in a chilling way. Yes, this house was featured on Travel Channels Ghost Adventures episode titled "Demons in Seattle." The episode where Zak Bagans and crew left empty-handed. Keith Linder explains why they left handed. The reader is not going to have that problem. The horror we witnessed will be explained in black and white. Some even in color. I wish I could say the same for what created it. Get ready. The Bothell Hell House: Poltergeist of Washington State is finally here ladies and gentlemen. The truth.
