Reviews"Any hope or fear that the experimental novel was an aberration of the twentieth century is dashed by the appearance of Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves, the first major experimental novel of the new millennium. And it's a monster. Dazzling." -- The Washington Post Book World "An intricate, erudite, and deeply frightening book." --The Wall Street Journal "A great novel. A phenomenal debut. Thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathtakingly intelligent--it renders most other fiction meaningless. One can imagine Thomas Pynchon, J. G. Ballard, Stephen King, and David Foster Wallace bowing at Danielewski's feet, choking with astonishment, surprise, laughter, awe." --Bret Easton Ellis "[Its] chills spark vertigo, its erudition brings on dislocating giddiness . . . House of Leaves is dizzying in every respect." --Entertainment Weekly "Stunning . . . What could have been a perfectly entertaining bit of literary horror is instead an assault on the nature of story." -- Spin "This demonically brilliant book is impossible to ignore, put down, or persuasively conclude reading. In fact, when you purchase your copy you may reach a certain page and find me there, reduced in size like Vincent Price in The Fly, still trapped in the web of its malicious, beautiful pages." --Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn "[A] tour de force first novel. [It] can keep you up at nights and make you never look at a closet in quite the same way again . . . Staggeringly good fun." -- Chicago Sun-Times "A novelistic mosaic that simultaneously reads like a thriller and like a strange, dreamlike excursion into the subconscious." -- The New York Times "If you can imagine that Peter Pan's enemy is not Captain Hook but Neverland itself, or that the whale that swallows Jonah is Moby-Dick, you'll begin to appreciate what this book is about. Anticipate it with dread, seize, and understand. A riveting reading experience." --Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West "Grabs hold and won't let go . . . The reader races through the pages exactly as her mind races to find out what happens next." --The Village Voice "Like Melville's Moby-Dick, Joyce's Ulysses, and Nabokov's Pale Fire, Danielewski's House of Leaves is a grandly ambitious multi-layered work that simply knocks your socks off with its vast scope, erudition, formal inventiveness, and sheer storytelling skills." --San Diego Union-Tribune, "Any hope or fear that the experimental novel was an aberration of the twentieth century is dashed by the appearance of Mark Z.

SynopsisTHE MIND-BENDING CULT CLASSIC ABOUT A HOUSE THAT'S LARGER ON THE INSIDE THAN ON THE OUTSIDE - A masterpiece of horror and an astonishingly immersive, maze-like reading experience that redefines the boundaries of a novel. ''Simultaneously reads like a thriller and like a strange, dreamlike excursion into the subconscious." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathtakingly intelligent--it renders most other fiction meaningless." --Bret Easton Ellis, bestselling author of American Psycho "This demonically brilliant book is impossible to ignore." --Jonathan Lethem, award-winning author of Motherless Brooklyn One of The Atlantic 's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the Internet. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth--musicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkies--the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children. Now made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and second and third appendices, the story remains unchanged. Similarly, the cultural fascination with House of Leaves remains as fervent and as imaginative as ever. The novel has gone on to inspire doctorate-level courses and masters theses, cultural phenomena like the online urban legend of "the backrooms," and incredible works of art in entirely unrealted mediums from music to video games. Neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of the impossibility of their new home, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story--of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams., THE MIND-BENDING CULT CLASSIC ABOUT A HOUSE THAT'S LARGER ON THE INSIDE THAN ON THE OUTSIDE * A masterpiece of horror and an astonishingly immersive, maze-like reading experience that redefines the boundaries of a novel.

No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth -- musicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkies -- the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children. Now, for the first time, this astonishing novel is made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and newly added second and third appendices. The story remains unchanged, focusing on a young family that moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story -- of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.

Required Reading - Explorers Needed.
This book is not just an amazing read. It is, if you take the time and make the effort, it is an immersively gratifying experience. First go find Poe's, (the singer and Daniel's sister), album *Haunted*. It is an amazing companion piece to the book. Also this can be read solo but every time i have read the book, including the first and most special time, it has been with a partner. I could go into all the crazy easter eggs and codes within the book but figuring it all out is part of the journey. Here are a couple of bread crumbs for you, (that i don't think you should go to before hand but maybe after or while you are deep into the book), YouTube channel Pelican Black and Night Mind's video essays are wonderful. There are all many different web sits and IRL documents that you should seek as well. Most of the IRL dicuments can be found as scans on said web sites though. My review ends simply, I am extrodinarily envious of anyone starting this adventure for the first time. I have greatly enjoyed going on this trip with loved ones. The first time was the best time not just because I experienced it with my brother who has since passed, but because it was my first step into this house and i have become one of it's guides over time. Holding the door open for others always gives me a sigular thrill. Finally, to be brutally honest, and barring his newest series "The Familiar" i have tried very hard to get into Mark's (wait... I called him Daniel above didn't I? Dammit. I cannot scroll up to fix it... Ah well, fornicate it.), other works and they are just... Well... Not for me. I cant disbarrage the man who gave me House Of Leaves no matter how... Not for me, the rest of his work might be. So stop reading my rambling review and Go! Read the book! Explore the House! Enjoy!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A maddening story that may actually drive you mad!
Compelling and horrifying. A labyrinth circle of footnotes within footnotes within footnotes! Found it very hard to put down. Wonderfully and confusingly great!!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

This is so great for the price!

Nice
I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but it came quick. I scrolled through it because the book form is supposed to have some strange ways of writing like layout, which is very important from what I understand, and it was there like it was supposed to be. Very impressed, thank youVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
