About this product

Product Information

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. ''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.

"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.

Item was just as seller presented it. As the box had been opened, the seller wasn’t positive if it was new or not. It’s new as far as we can tell and is working great. It arrived quickly. It was a little more expensive than used ones but well worth the price.

    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 ...

  • House of Leaves, a unique, one of a kind novel!

    Amazing book. It changes the way you read novels, and does to closets what "psycho" did to showers. A great read. Everyone should experience House of Leaves. I wished they would make it into a movie someday! Basic Story: A party animal, drug using, tattoo artist finds a novel written by a blind man that died. He types it up to publish and gives the blind man the credit for it. The novel is about a man whos house is larger on the inside than it is on the inside. A closet appears from nowhere and it leads into a vast void dark place that appears to be a mansion within the house. It has stairwells that groan, a spiral staircase that gons down forever, long winding hallways with hundreds of empty rooms, and its all pitch black. They make several trips in there to explore it, ...

  • A chilling testament to independent writing

    When one things of the Indy genre, they usually think of movies or sometimes computer games, often at which publishing companies would turn up their noses, but one cannot deny that the movement of independent creation is often what drives the wheel of creativity. The independent label can also be applied to unique schools of thought. House of Leaves is a case example of the latter. It's difficult to classify House of Leaves. At its core, there exists within its universe a movie equivalent to the Blair Witch project, simultaneously claimed to be a factual account of a man's exploration into the paranormal nature of his own home and a mere independent film with some unusually poor storytelling techniques. This movie (called The Navidson Report after its protagonist) is in turn being given ...

  • 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!!!
