House of Leaves

House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski This book came highly recommended by my nephew. I would have to agree it is one of a kind. It juxtaposes (I would not say blends) multiple story lines that are somewhat the same story, they are definitely all related. One story is someone slowly losing their mind due to reading a recounting of the haunting. Then the story of the haunting. Which isn't really a haunting. If I were to describe it I'd say the house it self is possessed or an entity of its own. Then there is the thread of "experts" analyzing the characters directly involved in the haunting. The writing style is like E E Cummings and Stephen King had a hellish love child.

This is one of those books that you vacillate between not being able to put it down and not being able to pick it up again because why, why did they go back into the basement?
