bookUniversal Harvester
Literary fiction by John Darnielle

It's the late '90s, and you can find Jeremy at the Video Hut in Nevada, Iowa. Suddenly, customers begin complaining that there are mysterious movies on the tapes they’ve rented. As Jeremy and those around him are absorbed into tapes, they become part of another story—one 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.

For fans of horror movies, science fiction, literary fiction, Wolf in White Van, and the Mountain Goats.
