John Darnielle writes how he talks. If you have ever heard him speaking, you'll have built-in audio for this book.

Wolf In White Van is a book about living through your own decisions and creating worlds to escape to. Reading Wolf In White Van when I did help me to back away from a ledge I found myself on. Whenever I zone out staring at a ceiling, I think about the Trace Italian.
