has anybody else read house of leaves? i thought it was one of the best books i have ever read, and i think it deserves a thread,
There have been a couple of threads on it in the past. Do a quick search on “Danielewski”.
As for the book itself, I certainly enjoyed it, but thought it got a little self indulgent near the “end”. I would highly recommend it though. It has some of the most truly creepy moments I’ve read in a book.
For interesting trivia, try to get a hold of the song “Hey Pretty” by Poe, which includes snippets of Danielewski reading from the book.
To expand on one of MrFantsyPants’ comments the whole Poe album named Haunted (of which ‘Hey Pretty’ is a part) is fairly intertwined with the book. Poe and Danielewski are brother and sister and developed the book and CD at the same time. So while not really being truely linked pieces, there is some back and forth between the two.
Should have included this the first time… a link to the Poe album. Check out the title of track 15.
