''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 Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years 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 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. |

| falling for his best friend: Falling for His Step-Sister Alie Garnett, 2021-03-18 Question: If your long-lost mother is married to a sexy stranger's dad, is he still considered your stepbrother? Asking for a friend. Beatrix Buzz Lovely was getting fired after overselling her ability to land an interview with a mystery man who would soon be making headlines. Or so she said. The interview would've made her a household name, making her mark ... until she messed it up. Royally. If only she could have put two words together the short time she had been alone with Jonas Raiden. Or even coherent thoughts. Which is how she ended up jobless just as the perfect opportunity lands in her lap. With a borrowed resume, she gets hired as a chef for a woman who might be her long-lost mother. Buzz has to put her skills as a former reporter to work to get to the bottom of it. On her first day, she runs right into the object of her failed interview, or one-night stand, whichever. Was it possible that Jonas Raiden could be her stepbrother? It doesn't take long before Buzz is in over her head, and it isn't her lack of culinary skills that's the problem. Jonas doesn't care about his stepmom's rules |
