This masterwork of suspense is as careful with its sharp takes as it is with the bread crumbs it slowly drops on the way to its stunning end. Gage’s multilayered narrative of the Devil House murders slowly builds from conjecture to the victims’ ventriloquized voices, lending itself well to Darnielle’s themes about the artifice of the genre: “Formalities, when carefully tended, quietly congregate to make form,” Gage notes. Interspliced with Gage’s investigation are long excerpts from one of his previous books, The White Witch of Morro Bay, which recounts the gruesome end for two teenage boys who broke into their teacher’s apartment. True crime writer Gage Chandler has spent the last five years living in the “Devil House” in Milpitas, Calif., where he’s been working on a book about an unsolved murder that took place there in 1986, during the height of the Satanic Panic. In this riveting metafictional epic, Mountain Goats singer-songwriter Darnielle ( Universal Harvester) flays the conventions of true crime to reveal the macabre and ordinary brutality behind sensationalized stories of violence.

A History of Philosophy by Frederick Copleston is more objective and much more exhaustive but it runs more than several thousand pages. Bertrand Russell‘s History of Western Philosophy is a classic but it is biased and too outdated to include any philosophical views after 1945. It is, therefore, an x-ray version of the intellectual history.īooks on the history of philosophy are not in short supply. Philosophy reveals what is the underlying flows behind the intellectual ideas. The relation between ideas and philosophy is similar. A Gothic church has her beautiful stained glass windows, paintings and all other exquisite adornments but they merely suggest or altogether fail to tell us the underlying structure that supports the church itself. While intellectual history is a bird’s eye view of the intellectual landscape, a history of philosophy is a x-ray version of that landscape.
