Finally got around to reading house of leaves and this book has got me absolutely floored, seriously one of the best pieces of literature I think I’ve ever read. Gives you so much to think about, it’s beautifully haunting and the way it plays with narrative structure is so damn interesting.

I’d seriously recommend this book to anyone (despite the books dedication being “this is not for you”). It’s a bit of a deep dive but it really pays off to read every single footnote, appendix, flip around when directed to, and lose yourself in the mystery of the book

    HoL was cool. But once you’ve experienced the fireworks it’s not really that memorable. It’s built to impress and its actual substance is rather mediocre.
