"House of Leaves"

"House of Leaves" is a novel by Mark Z. Danielewski that layers multiple narratives and formats to tell a haunting story. It centers on a young family that discovers their home is impossibly larger on the inside than it appears on the outside, with endless, shifting hallways. The core story is conveyed through a documentary film called "The Navidson Record," analyzed by a student’s academic paper, supplemented with footnotes, multiple fonts, and nested texts, creating a complex, immersive reading experience. The novel explores themes of perception, reality, obsession, and the unsettling mystery of the house’s supernatural nature.
