House of Leaves
by Mark Z. Danielewski
4/5
Pantheon Books 709 pages March 7, 2000
A young family discovers their house is bigger on the inside than the outside. Told through layers of unreliable narration, footnotes within footnotes, and experimental typography, this genre-defying novel is a labyrinth of horror that physically changes how you read a book.

Jim's Review
🐛
This book broke Jim's brain in the best way. You'll be reading sideways, upside down, and through a mirror before it's done with you. The Navidson Record sections are genuinely terrifying — an infinite dark hallway that keeps growing? This worm knows tunnels, and that's a hard no. The experimental format isn't gimmick; it IS the horror. Not for everyone, but if it clicks, nothing else compares.
