Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more 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, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children.

Now, for the first time, this astonishing novel is made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and newly added second and third appendices.

The story remains unchanged, focusing on a young family that moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences 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.

LovelyBooks-BewertungVon misspider am 12.07.2021
I purchased the book a couple of years ago but then it became a forgotten relic on my shelf. One reason I postponed reading the book surely was its weight and size. The large softcover feels wobbly and uncomfortable to handle, so each time I took it out of the shelf I only dusted it off and put it back again. Until now. Inspired by a reading challenge, I decided to finally read 'House of Leaves' and find out whether my instant attraction in the past was justified. Sadly, it was not.I never felt a connection with this book, most of the time I only wished to get it over with so I could say I read it and sort it out. The book combines several story-lines and only one of them was interesting (therefore two stars) - the rest I could have done without and therefore skimmed through a great number of pages. While I understand the appeal the book's otherness may have on many readers I found it overdone, boring and mostly a waste of my time. But I'm glad I finally have it out of my way.
