House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

---

House of Leaves is a mind-breaking book. Know going in that it will make you feel as if you are slowly losing your grip on reality. You will start to wonder if your own house measures a few inches smaller on the outside than it does on the inside. You will also wonder if the creaks you hear at night are not the mundane “house settling” noises you’ve been telling yourself that they are. What will you do when you realize that your “safe haven,” your home, is just as cold and damp as any spot outside? I’ll tell you - you will read the next page of this book. Yes, this book is a novel, but do you know for sure that it is not a bound historical record? The differences are small and hard to discern, but your peace-of-mind might depend on it.
