House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
3.0
'It will get so bad you'll be afraid to look away, you'll be afraid to sleep.'
Reading this (ergodic nightmare) felt like work. But..the payoff was having bone-chilling sentences with the horrifying imagery mashed directly into my brain. Disorienting. Experimental. Tedious, but scary as hell. I understand how some people love this, and some hate it. I'm floating somewhere in between. I'm glad I read it.
'Me? I'm cold, I'm scared shitless, and I feel like I'm about to be eaten alive at any moment.
Otherwise, I'd say I'm fine.'
