>like Backrooms but actually good
Wendigoon needs to make this the next book zoomers will pretend to read
>>220918346I still have no idea what this book is about, the wikipedo page is too confusing
>>220918346Careful, bringing up this book makes the zoomsaars seethe.
>>220918380>>220918436kek
>>220918346i gave up on this book after the fifth sex scene it was becoming tedious
>>220918346>remastered full-color edition>for a bookAlready tells you everything you need to know about this meme novel
>>220918346seethe more
>>220918550I enjoyed the choco paizuri, I picture ellie the empress.
>>220918550I think I have up on Atlas Fugged for the same reason.
>>220919081The fact that Atlas Shrugged was written by a woman make me like the sex scenes. It was like reading the crush diary of a sister I never had. Based queen of trains.
>>220918436It's about a tattoo artist that finds a story detailing a documentary about a house where the inside dimensions of the house are larger than the outside
>>220918346This is on my reading list list. The inside flap reads like some faggot desperate to be seen as hip and underground.
>>220919332Its fucking fantastic! Listen to poems 2 albums as an atmospheric soundtrack.
>>220918346>but actually good*BLOCKS*BLOCKS**YOUR*YOUR**PATH*PATH*
>>220919332Danielewski definitely became that after the success of this book. His subsequent novels are tryhard hipster trash but House is worth a read.
>>220919332It is. You should see his sister.
>>220918346Guarantee A24/Blumhouse/Neon are beating eachother senseless for the film rights to this as of this week, and they all intend on having a zoomer YouTuber to direct it
>>220919419a24 and neon are the same fucking thing but Blumhouse???
pale fire for people who shop at hot topic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rb0YOuZ_ugthe audio version is kino
>>220920812how do they read the swirly upside down pages?
>>220918346zoomer infinite jest?
>thing is bigger on the inside than the outsidethis trope must be at least a few hundred years old if not thousands
>>220918550I totally ignored everything that wasn't about the house itself. The book is pretentious but the Navidson sections are great.
>>220918436A deadbeat with drug problems finds a manuscript detailing video recordings of a journalist and his family moving into a house that's connected to a physically impossible maze of empty black corridors in a dead guys apartment. We learn about him, the journalist and the dead guy and how their stories might be connected.
>>220920286Blumhouse did Get Out and Obsession so they think they're smart.>>220920644More like for people who shopped at American Apparel.
just don't read the sequel, it will retroactively ruin this book for you
>>220919124Ayn Rand, like most women, had rape fantasies.
i don't know how to put spoilers in my post. the book started out scary, but it is revealed far too soon that there's no real monster inside the house. the only threat is getting lost, which is lame. the footnotes were fun i guess
>>220921115i read this book two decades ago…
>>220918346Hell nah. Gimmicky bullshit that at best rises to the level of a decent SCP creepy pasta and for the most past is a pastiche of what a dimwit think a postmodern novel is supposed to look like
I ain’t reading a book from before I was born lol
>>220919389The Familiar was fucking kino and I'm still pissed that we didn't get a second "season" of it though also not surprised. Most plebs got filtered extremely hard by it. Like you, for instance
It’s about the journey, not the destination.
>>220921411Sounds pretty gay, glad I can't read.
>>220919332I hated that inside flap so much I cut it off my copy. Danielewski absolutely did not write that, it was some marketing intern at a loss to describe the book so he just went full edgelord. Inside flaps are cringe in general. The first exposure to a book should not be a summary written by someone who's not even the author.
>>220920812An audio book seems like it defeats the purpose.
His sister is the singer Poe. Her album Haunted is a counterpart to the book.
>>220921543>A sequel to the book, the screenplays both adapt the original story and extend it to the present day. Past sequences, depicted as filmed by a then-young filmmaker named Mélisande Avignon, contradict the book significantly: Zampanò's work, found by Truant, was not a manuscript but the actual film footage of The Navidson Record. This and Avignon's film are later seized, and public knowledge of them suppressed, by a "data disposal" company called Skiadyne. In the present, unknown forces steal both films from Skiadyne and return them to Avignon, leading to a high-stakes fight for control. The book House of Leaves, now academically studied as a work of fiction, becomes embroiled in a "fake fiction" scandal when Avignon publicizes its factual basis by leaking the films.HOLY FUCK, you ain't kiddin
>>220918436The main story is about a family who moves into a house and a door appears in their living room that leads to a physically impossible and fucked up dark maze. Then theres a layer of unreliable narrators and a bunch of gimmicks to make the reading experience as schizo as possible
I hate how 25 years later there hasn't been a single serious attempt at making accurate art, short film or game of the house interior.
>>220919372>>220921165I just read this thing and holy shit, the Johnny sections were almost unreadable. I now have an instinctive aversion to anything written in Courier New.
>>220919316>It's about a tattoo artist that finds a story detailing a documentary about a house... that Jack built?
>>220923626MyHouse.wad is probably the closest thing that exists, though it's actually full of surprises and stuff because it's Doom not a liminal space simulator
>>220923492Illiterates hurt my spirit, so much beauty lost to you. Godspeed, simpleton.
>>220918346>the remastered full color editionlol/lmao
>>220923706That one took a lot of inspiration and references it but did not quite hit the mark in the same style of horror. In the book I think that part of the horror comes from how oddly accepting everybody is about the impossible dimensions inside the house instead of just getting the fuck out, and the desire to explore it. It is closer to a story about a person choosing to go exploring a crevice inside a cave against all common sense and getting lost in a maze of dark tunnels. I'm getting a vague memory from 20 years ago or so of a very short video where the cameraman shows a dark corridor inside a house then walks outside, but it may be wishful thinking on my part.
