I love that the blue text color on tumblr is the same shade as the blue text in House of Leaves. This website is an extra room in the house

HORROR'S NEXT TOP GENDER, ROUND FOUR MATCH FOUR: The House on Ash Tree Lane (House of Leaves) vs. Edward Hyde (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde)

PROPAGANDA FOR THE HOUSE:

"It’s a house but it’s also an inscrutable labyrinth but it’s also sentient but it’s also haunted and there might or might not be a hungry darkness lurking within it. Did I mention it’s a house."

PROPAGANDA FOR HYDE:

"Simultaneously a toxically hypermasculine hairy cunt AND a bitchy effeminate dandy. Literally indescribably uncanny. Ugly as fuck but implied to suck and fuck men all night every night. Needs cocaine to exist. How is that not a gender?"

Have you read...

note: If you did not finish but feel you read enough to form an opinion, you may choose a ‘Yes’ option instead of 'Partly' (e.g., Yes, I didn’t like it). Similarly, if you’ve never heard of a book until now but formed an opinion from this post, you may wish to select a “no” option e.g., “No, but I want to.”

(...) [A] work of epistolary fiction and metafiction focusing on a fictional documentary film titled the Navidson Record, presented as a story within a story discussed in a handwritten monograph recovered by the primary narrator, Johnny Truant. The narrative makes heavy use of multiperspectivity as Truant's footnotes chronicle his efforts to transcribe the manuscript, which itself reveals the Navidson Record's supposed narrative through transcriptions and analysis depicting a story of a family who discovers a larger-on-the-inside labyrinth in their house.

Aaaaaaah! I've had a German version of house of leaves for ages at home, but always wanted to read the original. After being out of print for years there's finally a remastered version in stores and i finally got it! (and since it's unfortunately soft cover it cost way less then I expected to pay, yay)

Met with a friend for lunch. He let me borrow House of Leaves and gave me patch from a concert he went to recently :3

Yesssss!! I love House of Leaves ✨ It's the only horror book I've ever read (and I've read so so many 😮‍💨) that has ever deeply unsettled me for reasons I cannot pinpoint! It's not particularly scary and yet??

So I visit the Little Free Libraries near me almost everyday and- please- someone tell me-

WHAT IS THIS FUCKASS BOOK I FOUND.

WHY DID I FIND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A LEITNER IN THERE-

....I took it home of course

HORROR'S NEXT TOP GENDER, ROUND THREE MATCH SEVEN: Gabriel (Malignant) vs. The House on Ash Tree Lane (House of Leaves)

PROPAGANDA FOR GABRIEL:

"Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think conjoined twins can be (assigned) different sexes? Or at least it's very unlikely. So the fact that he is male at all is transgender- let alone the way he's forced to hide within/use his sister's body when they try to get rid of him. With the way he looks and exists in a body he is forced to live outside of "normal" gender. Also I like him"

"Literally a guy trapped in a female body but also he's extremely cool and sexy"

PROPAGANDA FOR THE HOUSE:

"It’s a house but it’s also an inscrutable labyrinth but it’s also sentient but it’s also haunted and there might or might not be a hungry darkness lurking within it. Did I mention it’s a house."

“God's a house. Which is not to say that our house is God's house or even a house of God. What I mean to say is that our house is God.”
