House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
5.0
This book isn't for everyone, but it absolutely was for me.
I'm a sucker for architectural horror and the segments of this book involving the house were all I could have asked for. I was less interested in the segments set within the framing device of the story, however, they provided a very unique kind of story I haven't found anywhere else. This story is possibly the one which takes the most advantage of its medium that I have ever read. You absolutely have to read this in its physical form - do not make the mistake of reading this as an ebook, you will regret it.
