Reviews
"A captivating exploration of the vagaries of memory and inertia in middle America . . . [ Universal Harvester ] serves as a stellar encore after the success of [Darnielle's] debut novel, Wolf in White Van . . . Beneath the eerie gauze of this book, I felt an undercurrent of humanity and hope." --Manuel Roig-Franzia, The Washington Post " Universal Harvester is a quiet story of grief with the trappings of a Stephen King suspense-thriller . . . Its characters are constantly on the move, speeding toward destinations they fear will hold 'scenes of unspeakable devastation and loss,' and Darnielle seamlessly transfers their dread straight into readers' hearts . . . [ Universal Harvester is] so wonderfully strange, almost Lynchian in its juxtaposition of the banal and the creepy, that my urge to know what the hell was going on caused me to go full throttle . . . [But] Darnielle hides so much beautiful commentary in the book's quieter moments that you would be remiss not to slow down." --Abram Scharf, MTV News "[A] brilliant second novel . . . What appears to be a chilling horror tale is also a perfectly rendered story about family and loss . . . Darnielle is a master at building suspense, and his writing is propulsive and urgent; it's nearly impossible to stop reading. He's also incredibly gifted at depicting the dark side of the rural Midwest . . . [ Universal Harvester is] beyond worthwhile; it's a major work by an author who is quickly becoming one of the brightest stars in American fiction." --Michael Schaub, Los Angeles Times "Eerie . . . unnerving . . . Darnielle adeptly juggles multiple stories that collide with chaotic consequences somewhere in the middle of nowhere. With a nod to urban legends and friend-of-a-friend tales, the author prepares readers for the surreal truth, the improbable events that 'have form, and shape, and weight, and meaning" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Darnielle's masterfully disturbing follow-up to the National Book Award-nominated Wolf in White Van reads like several Twilight Zone scripts cut together by a poet . . . All the while, [Darnielle's] grasp of the Iowan composure-above-all mindset instills the book with agonizing heartbreak." --Daniel Kraus, Booklist (starred review) "Darnielle's second novel opens like a dark suspense story . . . but he ultimately pursues a softer and more nuanced exploration of family and loss . . . Darnielle's prose is consistently graceful and empathetic . . . [ Universal Harvester is] a smart and rangy yarn." -- Kirkus Reviews, " Brilliant ...Darnielle is a master at building suspense, and his writing is propulsive and urgent ; it's nearly impossible to stop reading . . . [ Universal Harvester is] beyond worthwhile; it's a major work by an author who is quickly becoming one of the brightest stars in American fiction ." --Michael Schaub, Los Angeles Times "Grows in menace as the pages stack up . . . [But] more sensitive than one would expect from a more traditional tale of dread." --Joe Hill, New York Times Book Review "The most unsettling book I've read since House of Leaves ." --Adam Morgan, Electric Literature "This chilling literary thriller follows a video store clerk as he deciphers a macabre mystery through clues scattered among the tapes his customers rent. A page-tuning homage to In Cold Blood and The Ring. " --O: The Oprah Magazine "A stellar encore after the success of [Darnielle's] debut novel, Wolf in White Van . . . Beneath the eerie gauze of this book, I felt an undercurrent of humanity and hope. " --Manuel Roig-Franzia, The Washington Post "[ Universal Harvester is] so wonderfully strange, almost Lynchian in its juxtaposition of the banal and the creepy , that my urge to know what the hell was going on caused me to go full throttle . . . [But] Darnielle hides so much beautiful commentary in the book's quieter moments that you would be remiss not to slow down." --Abram Scharf, MTV News "Few books in recent memory have mastered the Midwestern uncanny as well as John Darnielle's strange and lyrical Universal Harvester... Like Midwestern cornfields, this book haunts in many ways." --Chicago Review of Books " Universal Harvester is a novel about noticing hidden things, particularly the hurt and desperation that people bear under their exterior of polite reserve . . . Mr. Darnielle possesses t he clairvoyant's gift for looking beneath the surface. " --Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal "[ Universal Harvester is] constantly unnerving, wrapped in a depressed dread that haunts every passage. But it all pays off with surprising emotionality. " --Kevin Nguyen, GQ.com " Truly excellent... In an age of puffed up literary doorstops, it feels vaguely miraculous that Darnielle manages to pack this haunting novel...into less than 300 pages." --Joe Gross, Austin American-Statesman "Darnielle writes beautifully . . . He builds a deep sense of foreboding by giving pieces of the puzzle in such a way that you really can't see the solution until that final piece is in place ." --Salem Macknee, News & Observer "Eerie . . . unnerving . . .

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
