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

The footnote style gimmick gets super annoying after a couple pages, and that is the only thing that stands out about the book.
