A labyrinthine novel about a house that's larger on the inside than the outside -- and the madness of trying to map it.
About This Book
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.
Who This Is For
Best for readers who want to be immersed in a world: mood and setting as important as plot. This is a book that asks something of you. Dense, layered, and best read slowly. It takes its time, and that's the point. Patience is rewarded. Plot-first readers may find the pace too slow and the ambiguity too deliberate.
Best Read When
Best read when you're in the mood for something atmospheric and mysterious, and a read that's slow and deeply immersive.
What It Explores
House of Leaves explores identity and the gap between who we are and who we pretend to be, love in its most complicated forms, and survival and what extreme circumstances ask of people.
