Piranesi lives in the House. The House provides for him. But when a new person shows up in the House, Piranesi has to decide what is real and what is lies. 

This book gives me such weird mythology vibes. Kind of like Pan's Labyrinth in a way. The characters are amazingly written and so compelling. The world-building is strange and wonderful. The plot is super interesting. It's unsettling in a great way. 

If you like weird books, give this one a read.
