Wolf in White Van

Nominated for the National Book Award and Winner of the Alex Award, John Darnielle is best known for his band The Mountain Goats but he writes fiction too. After a disfiguring injury as a teen, Sean Phillips retreated from society and focused on creating the text-based, roleplaying game Trace Italian. He guides players through a dystopian America. Disaster strikes when two players take the imaginary game into the real world and Sean is called to account. Structure nerds, this one's for you: the story unfolds in the reverse, traveling back to Sean’s accident.
