john darnielle — didn't i read a book by a guy with that name —
John Darnielle is an American musician and novelist best known as the primary, and originally sole, member of the American band The Mountain Goats, for which he is the writer, composer, guitarist, pianist, and vocalist. He has written three novels: Wolf in White Van, Universal Harvester, and Devil House.
