Acerca de esta escucha
Jeremy works at the Video Hut in Nevada, Iowa. It's a small town in the center of the state - the first a in Nevada pronounced ay. This is the late 1990s, and even if the Hollywood Video in Ames poses an existential threat to Video Hut, there are still regular customers, a rush in the late afternoon. It's good enough for Jeremy: It's a job, quiet and predictable, and it gets him out of the house, where he lives with his dad and where they both try to avoid missing Mom, who died six years ago in a car wreck.
But when a local schoolteacher comes in to return her copy of Targets - an old movie, starring Boris Karloff, one Jeremy himself had ordered for the store - she has an odd complaint: "There's something on it," she says, but doesn't elaborate. Two days later a different customer returns a different tape, a new release, and says it's not defective, exactly, but altered: "There's another movie on this tape."
Jeremy doesn't want to be curious, but he brings the movies home to take a look. And indeed, in the middle of each movie, the screen blinks dark for a moment, and the movie is replaced by a few minutes of jagged, poorly lit home video. The scenes are odd and sometimes violent, dark, and deeply disquieting. There are no identifiable faces, no dialogue or explanation - the first video has just the faint sound of someone breathing - but there are some recognizable landmarks. These have been shot just outside of town.
So begins John Darnielle's haunting and masterfully unsettling Universal Harvester: the once placid Iowa fields and farmhouses now sinister and imbued with loss and instability and profound foreboding. The audiobook will take Jeremy and those around him deeper into this landscape than they have ever expected to go. They will become part of a story that unfolds years into the past and years into the future, part of an impossible search for something someone once lost that they would do anything to regain.

Historia
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.

On a damp October night, beautiful young Ashley Cordova is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan. Though her death is ruled a suicide, veteran investigative journalist Scott McGrath suspects otherwise. As he probes the strange circumstances surrounding Ashley’s life and death, McGrath comes face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary, reclusive, cult-horror-film director Stanislas Cordova - a man who hasn’t been seen in public for more than 30 years.

The cold spots and scratching in the walls were weird enough, but peculiar packages started showing up at the house - who ordered industrial lye? Then, there was the eerie music at odd hours, Thiago waking up to Itza projecting light shows in an empty room.

Thomas Ligotti’s debut collection, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, and his second, Grimscribe, permanently inscribed a new name in the pantheon of horror fiction. Influenced by the strange terrors of Lovecraft and Poe and by the brutal absurdity of Kafka, Ligotti eschews cheap, gory thrills for his own brand of horror, which shocks at the deepest, existential, levels.

Historia
Alma Katsu calls My Heart Is a Chainsaw “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Historia
This remarkable novel begins in 1850s Louisiana, where Gilda escapes slavery and learns about freedom while working in a brothel. After being initiated into eternal life as one who "shares the blood" by two women there, Gilda spends the next 200 years searching for a place to call home. An instant lesbian classic when it was first published in 1991, The Gilda Stories has endured as an auspiciously prescient book in its explorations of blackness, radical ecology, re-definitions of family, and yes, the erotic potential of the vampire story.

But tomorrow is also Halloween, and the twins are eager to show off their costumes—Ron is a nurse, in an old-fashioned white skirt-uniform, and Desi has an Authentic Squaw costume, complete with buckskin and feathered headdress. Excitement is in the air.

No. It is a simple word, uttered on a summer porch in 1936. And it will haunt Kitty Milton for the rest of her life. Kitty and her husband, Ogden, are both from families considered the backbone of the country. But this refusal will come to be Kitty’s defining moment, and its consequences will ripple through the Milton family for generations.

Hypnotically beautiful
Darnielle's second novel, like Wolf in White Van, features a recent historical setting and defunct technology - film rather than gaming by mail. It shares the first book's slow, gentle horror and non-chronological storytelling. In Universal Harvester, the focus is broader and more expansive, spending more time focused on characters outside of the family tragedy that drives the story. The author's narration is hypnotically beautiful.
If you're not a fan of non-linear storytelling, this might not be the book for you. But hey, give it a shot. It's very beautiful.

Little confusing
I liked the overall message of this book, but at times was very very tough to follow. It’s a good read and not like anything else I’ve read so there’s that, but again you really have to pay attention to detail and connect things or else will be very easily confused

Another quiet masterpiece, my favorite new author
Always warm, always poignant but hopeful, always earthy but playful at the same time, Darnielle again shows he's a masterful storyteller, in a performance that transcends written word and gives a whole dimension to each phrase and pause.
I'm already thinking about listening to it again. Simply put, this is deep enough to warrant more listens.
I want him to write more novels and being able to listen to him reading it is a miracle.

Another great story by a great storyteller
Darnielle is a master storyteller, in story and in song. This was a very good book, deeply unsettling and painfully honest in its portrayal of loss and grief. Highly recommended.

I need Darnielle's prose baked into my brain
A beautiful story. I was so overcome with emotion when the final line hit that I let out a long, audible sigh. Glad I opted for audiobook; the music was a welcome addition, evocative without being distracting. I also appreciated the added insight from hearing the author narrate.

listen to it twice.
Darnielle reads with such sincerity and quiet energy, bringing his brilliant prose to life. my first time through this book left me stunned and a little confused- the story goes places I could not anticipate. just read/listened for a second time and found it much more fulfilling.

Love the Mountain Goats? You'll Like This Too
Neat book about growing up in middle America. Darnielle creates a slightly threatening tone which has a satisfying twist. Neat musical interludes that fans will enjoy. He's a good narrator too. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

Great story
I loved this book - it is a subtly unfolding mystery with a weird plot line that still comes together in a very satisfying ending. Great characters living bittersweet lives. I highly recommend it.
