>released at the tail end of the century
>author's only notable work
>largely derivative outside of a few gimmicks
>known more for those gimmicks and what it inspired
>ambitious but amateurish mishmash of way too many incongruous ideas
>manuscript that makes you go insane
>the book itself is supposed to mirror the artifact (the house/the play)
>had the potential for unique horror but devolves into cliches
>abandons horror completely to become a love story
