House of Leaves

Updated: 7 Sep 2020
DISCOVER THE CULT CLASSIC - for brave readers of STEPHEN KING, J G BALLARD and DAVID FOSTER WALLACE. 'Superbly inventive' GUARDIAN 'Thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathakingly intelligent' BRETT EASTON ELLIS A young couple - Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Will Navidson and his partner Karen Green - move into a small home on Ash Tree Lane. But something is terribly wrong - their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Neither Will nor Karen are prepared to face the consequences of this impossibility. What happens next is loosely recorded on videotapes and interviews, leading to a compilation of the definitive work on the events on Ash Tree Lane, unveiling a thrilling and terrifying history. Loose sheets, stained napkins and crammed notebooks prove to be far more than the ramblings of a crazy old man . . . For fans of Twin Peaks, Black Mirror, Stranger Things and IT. ___________________ WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: 'I've never read anything like it' 'Strange, highly addictive and slowly creepy' 'A book like no other' 'The creativity and originality is astonishing' 'Unreservedly recommended' 'Buy it, read it, and explore it' ___________________ Winner of the New York Public Library's Young Lions Fiction Award

This is one of those books that a young writer reads and then has to teach himself not to copy because its influence is so strong. It uses text as image, so that the graphic arrangement of the words mimics their content and the motif of the labyrinth lives both in the content and in the path a reader takes through the book.
