House of Leaves

by Robin

 

I don't know if it has come up already, but I am currently reading a book by Mark Z. Danielewski, 'House of Leaves'. I first heard about this book on the Unknown Armies mailing list, but I think it is also fit reading for KULT (though it is a very strange book indeed). It is a novel but in the guise of a more or less scientific work about a film, complete with (partially insane) annotations and footnotes, and the film in question is a kind of Blair Witch Project with a haunted house. The house undergoes spatial transformations, and precisely that makes it KULT material. The book reflects those transformations, too... Just thumb through it and you'll see what I mean.
