September/October Horror Book Club: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
Details
Come join us as we discuss: HOUSE OF LEAVES.
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.
"House of Leaves" is a complex, multi-layered novel about a family who moves into a house that is bigger on the inside than the outside, and the strange phenomena they experience within it. The narrative is presented through a found manuscript, "The Navidson Record," written by a blind man named Zampanò, which details a documentary about the family and their house. This manuscript is discovered and annotated by Johnny Truant, creating a layered and fragmented reading experience. The book explores themes of obsession, madness, and the unreliable nature of perception, all while playing with the reader's sense of reality and fiction.
