Epub × House of Leaves ï Mark Z. Danielewski
Years ago when House of Leaves was first being passed around it was nothing than a badly bundled heap of paper parts of which would occasionally surface on the Internet No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth musicians tattoo artists programmers strippers environmentalists and adrenaline junkies the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations If you want a really good insightful review of House of Leaves that I didn't write go read this one from AerinIf you want to read mine here you goHouse of Leaves isn't one of those tidy little things that holds your hand and wipes your bottom and tells you that you're special It makes you work and what you get out of it depends largely on how much work you're willing to do House of Leaves is difficult at times incredibly complex occasionally pretentious and view spoiler it doesn't neatly wrap up some of the biggest uestions it raises hide spoiler

House of LeavesBigger on the inside than it is on the outsideOf course neither Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the conseuences of that impossibility until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story of creature darkness of an ever growing abyss behind a closet door and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams This is not for youthis will not follow the kind of reviews I usually do so be prepared for a conglomerate of uotes self taken photos and annoying html text Also this is uite longAll right so not only was I completely mind blown by this book I was also overjoyed with the fact that I actually had an excuse to use my page markers I had orange for uotes pink for ideasconceptspoints in story green for layoutcodes and yellow for footnotes and references as I'm sure you all wanted to know Of course in this book it was completely relevant to do so as I'm not sure where I'd be now without them First offI am haunted by this book “˙ɯɐǝɹɔs uǝʌǝ oʇ ǝɯıʇ ǝʌɐɥ ʇ’uoʍ noʎ – ʞoo sıɥʇ ɟo pıɹ ƃuıʇʇǝƃ ǝ plnoɥs llǝɥ sɐ ǝɹns noʎ – sɯɹɐ ɹnoʎ dn ƃuıƃuılɟ ǝ ʇsɐǝl ʎɹǝʌ ǝɥʇ ʇɐ plnoɥs noʎ 'ƃuıuunɹ ǝ plnoɥs noʎ 'ƃuıʌoɯ ǝ plnoɥs noʎ ʇɐɥʇ ssǝɔoɹd uǝʌǝ oʇ ǝɯıʇ ǝʌɐɥ noʎ ǝɹoɟǝ ǝsnɐɔǝ 'ɹǝʇʇɐɯ ʇ’usǝop lıɐʇǝp ɹɐlnɔıʇɹɐd ʇɐɥʇ 'ʎɹɹoʍ ʇ’uop '¿slıɐu ʎǝɥʇ ǝɹɐ ɹo ɥʇǝǝʇ s’ʇı ɥʇıʍ ɹɐlnƃnɾ ɹnoʎ ɐʇs llıʍ ʇı sǝɯıʇ ʎuɐɯ ʍoɥ 'noʎ ʇıɥ ɐuuoƃ s’ʇı pɹɐɥ ʍoɥ 'uǝddɐɥ llıʍ ʇı ʇsɐɟ ʍoɥ ǝuıƃɐɯı oʇ ʎɹʇ ǝlɐɥxǝ oʇ ʇɹɐʇs noʎ sɐ ǝɯıʇ sıɥʇ ʎluO ˙ǝuo ɹǝdǝǝp uǝʌǝ puɐ ǝʞɐʇ pɐǝɥɐ oפ ˙ɥʇɐǝɹ dǝǝp ɐ ǝʞɐʇ ʍoN ˙ǝɹǝɥ sǝʎǝ ɹnoʎ dǝǝʞ ˙ʞool ʇ’uop ʇn ˙ʇuǝɯoɯ sıɥʇ ʇɐ ʇɥƃıɹ ˙sı ʇı ǝɹǝɥʍ s’ʇɐɥ┴ ˙punos ʇnoɥʇıʍ sʇǝʞɔod ǝsoɥʇ puıℲ ˙ǝɔuǝlıs sɐ ʇı ɹɐǝɥ ʎluo uɐɔ noʎ ʇɐɥʇ ʇɔɐɟ uı ʇǝınb os 'noʎ uo uı ƃuısolɔ ʎlʇǝınb sı ƃuıɥʇǝɯos 'ʇı ǝǝs ʇ’uɐɔ noʎ ǝɹǝɥʍ ʇɥƃıɹ ʇn 'noʎ ɟo ʇuoɹɟ uı uǝʌǝ ǝʎɐɯ 'noʎ ɟo ǝpıs ǝɥʇ oʇ ǝʎɐɯ 'noʎ puıɥǝ ǝʎɐɯ 'uoısıʌ lɐɹǝɥdıɹǝd ɹnoʎ puoʎǝ ʇsnɾ ǝuıƃɐɯı ʍoN ˙ǝƃɐd sıɥʇ ɟo ɹǝʇǝɯıɹǝd ǝɥʇ ʇsɐd ɹǝpuɐʍ sǝʎǝ ɹnoʎ ʇǝl ʇ’uop op noʎ ɹǝʌǝʇɐɥʍ puɐ 'spɹoʍ ǝsǝɥʇ uo snɔoɟ sıɥʇ ʎɹʇ ɐǝpı ɹǝʇʇǝ ɐ ʇǝƃ o┴”I'm not going to try and explain the plot nor am I going to try to explain the story because that is something you simply cannot do in full length or detail I will only say that if you detest unanswered uestions the beginning uote is right this is not for you To put this in very basic terms the plot surrounds a man named Johnny Truant or is that his name? Is he real? Is what he's telling us true?

Not that confusing Except this Navidson record is told in extreme detail by Zampanò a blind man remember who includes tons upon tons of individual interpretations theories and all sorts provided by various critics serving as the intellectual perspective of this gradually terrifying documentary It shows all sorts of characters grips on reality turn tenuous and details their gradual descent into madness with sometimes dire conseuences Except for one thing the movie doesn't exist And I don't just mean in a fictitious manner ie it's a book Sherlock it doesn't exist in the story itself Johnny even says that these critics and celebrities such as King Kubrick Rice have n
