Description: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski A family relocates to a small house on Ash Tree Lane and discovers that the inside of their new home seems to be without boundaries. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description THE MIND-BENDING CULT CLASSIC ABOUT A HOUSE THATS 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.Simultaneously reads like a thriller and like a strange, dreamlike excursion into the subconscious." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathtakingly intelligent—it renders most other fiction meaningless." —Bret Easton Ellis, bestselling author of American Psycho "This demonically brilliant book is impossible to ignore." —Jonathan Lethem, award-winning author of Motherless Brooklyn One of The Atlantics Great American Novels of the Past 100 YearsYears 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 made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and second and third appendices, the story remains unchanged. Similarly, the cultural fascination with House of Leaves remains as fervent and as imaginative as ever. The novel has gone on to inspire doctorate-level courses and masters theses, cultural phenomena like the online urban legend of "the backrooms," and incredible works of art in entirely unrealted mediums from music to video games. Neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of the impossibility of their new home, 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. Author Biography Mark Z. Danielewski was born in 1966. House of Leaves is his first novel. Review "Any hope or fear that the experimental novel was an aberration of the twentieth century is dashed by the appearance of Mark Z. Danielewskis House of Leaves, the first major experimental novel of the new millennium. And its a monster. Dazzling."—The Washington Post Book World "An intricate, erudite, and deeply frightening book." —The Wall Street Journal "A great novel. A phenomenal debut. Thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathtakingly intelligent—it renders most other fiction meaningless. One can imagine Thomas Pynchon, J. G. Ballard, Stephen King, and David Foster Wallace bowing at Danielewskis feet, choking with astonishment, surprise, laughter, awe."—Bret Easton Ellis "[Its] chills spark vertigo, its erudition brings on dislocating giddiness . . . House of Leaves is dizzying in every respect." —Entertainment Weekly "Stunning . . . What could have been a perfectly entertaining bit of literary horror is instead an assault on the nature of story."—Spin "This demonically brilliant book is impossible to ignore, put down, or persuasively conclude reading. In fact, when you purchase your copy you may reach a certain page and find me there, reduced in size like Vincent Price in The Fly, still trapped in the web of its malicious, beautiful pages."—Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn "[A] tour de force first novel. [It] can keep you up at nights and make you never look at a closet in quite the same way again . . . Staggeringly good fun."—Chicago Sun-Times "A novelistic mosaic that simultaneously reads like a thriller and like a strange, dreamlike excursion into the subconscious."—The New York Times "If you can imagine that Peter Pans enemy is not Captain Hook but Neverland itself, or that the whale that swallows Jonah is Moby-Dick, youll begin to appreciate what this book is about. Anticipate it with dread, seize, and understand. A riveting reading experience."—Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West "Grabs hold and wont let go . . . The reader races through the pages exactly as her mind races to find out what happens next." —The Village Voice "Like Melvilles Moby-Dick, Joyces Ulysses, and Nabokovs Pale Fire, Danielewskis House of Leaves is a grandly ambitious multi-layered work that simply knocks your socks off with its vast scope, erudition, formal inventiveness, and sheer storytelling skills." —San Diego Union-Tribune Prizes Short-listed for Guardian First Book Award 2000 Review Quote "Any hope or fear that the experimental novel was an aberration of the twentieth century is dashed by the appearance of Mark Z. Danielewskis House of Leaves, the first major experimental novel of the new millennium. And its a monster.
