	FRS 116 : Digital Culture : House of Leaves
		House of Leaves, by Mark Danielewski, plays with this human perception of a house and the space that is contained within.
		The width of the house inside would appear to exceed the width of the house as measured from the outside by ¼”.
		House of Leaves is not a novel that can be read aloud to others; it must be read with one’s own eyes.

	Independent Culture » House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski
		Ostensibly a horror story, House of Leaves manages to twist itself into a contemplation of the responsibility of the documentarian.
		House of Leaves provides its would-be documentarians with a subject that refuses to be passively recorded.
		Particularly with Navidson, it shatters the idea of the photographer being detached from his subject—an idea that is already haunting Navidson, as seen in his obsession with his prize-winning photograph, and his relationship with another of his subjects.

		Yep, this house is very much a sentient being and, as it turns out, not a particularly benevolent one.
		House of Leaves is reported to have taken 10 years to complete, and while it is a truly radical feat -- at times too self-consciously so -- it still brims with humanity.
		In fact, for all its technical innovation, House of Leaves is most impressive for the sheer breadth of the themes presented and for what it says about human obsession, including Danielewski's own.

	The Modern Word - House of Leaves Review
		House of Leaves has many layers, and like the film The Blair Witch Project, or Borges' Encyclopedia of Tlön, it comes pre-packaged in the middle of its own fictional mythology.
		When all is said and done, House of Leaves is essentially a horror novel, but less about things that go bump in the night, and more about the empty spaces in our awareness, the tension between certainty and uncertainty, and the ambiguities in our apprehension of ourselves, others, and the world.
		House of Leaves - Borgesian Influence -- From the Libyrinth's "Garden of Forking Paths" site, this entry looks at the influence of Borges on the novel.

	Review: House of Leaves (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The 'horror' of the house basically stems from every personality's attempts (or non-attempts) to grapple with it.
		I'll take a stab at the kids, since it was bleeding from the story in the first 100 pages anyway: In their obsession with the house, the Navidson's are neglecting their children, causing the same kind of emotional disaffection that made their own messed up personalities in the first place.
		The house is a damned good allegory for all that is wrong with modern relationships.

		House of Leaves is thrilling, terrifying and unlike anything you have ever read before.
		Why is the House like it is? The explanation of what the walls are made of was completely ridiculous and for me, that detracted some of the horror of the house.
		The kind of terror and horror in "House of Leaves" are not the kind you read in hack horror books, where something transforms or a nasty thing leaps out of the shadows and eviscerates screaming extras.

	Word Bomb: House of Leaves
		House of Leaves contains text that you may recognize from a song by the group Poe.
		House of Leaves at large is annotated both by Truant himself and by the "editors." The film in question, "The Navidson Record," is supposedly a documentary made by a photojournalist who has moved into a house that is not what it seems.
		House of Leaves is many things: a sociological treatise on the dissolution and construction of marriages, the self, and the family; an adventure tale; a mystery; a novel of psychological suspense; a coming of age tale and a search for reliable identity; an academic argument about filmmaking; even a love story.

	Review \| House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
		Comparing house to blueprints turns up no closet so Navy sets about measuring the house for himself only to discover that the house is bigger inside than it is outside.
		Instead of finding the children in the house, he finds them at the end of a "dark doorless hallway which has appeared out of nowhere," in a wall at one end of the living room.
		Yes, a house, but one capable of transforming itself in the blink of an eye to be anything from the smallest closet to rooms thousands of feet wide or staircases miles deep.

		"House of Leaves" is over seven hundred pages long and it's loaded with literary detour signs, unespected landmines (some duds, some live), and good old "holding the book upside down in a mirror so you can read the words printed that way" fun.
		There is a story of a family moving into a house, trying to sort out its interpersonal demons, and finding that the insides of things (lives, minds, houses) can often be darker, scarier, stranger, and more convoluted than they would appear from the outsides.
		"House of Leaves" is a story inside a story inside a story, etc. In fact, it puts the dizzying structure of Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein" to shame.

		In the meantime, House pits his team against one another in a challenge involving Cuddy, granting the winner immunity from elimination and a chance to nominate two other candidates to be put on the chopping block in the “You Don’t Want to Know” episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, Nov. 20 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

	House of Leaves
		I emphasize that this is a horror novel at its core, because the page-turning suspense of the haunted house story is in balance with the book's more difficult-to-read aspects, and the author seems conscious of this.
		In the case of House of Leaves, some of the most suspenseful moments happen during the parts where the multiple threads or challenging formatting make the book difficult and even tedious.
		For this reason (and others), calling it a "horror novel" is a bit misleading: the haunted house story is buried beneath a film, a scholarly essay about the film, and the footnote-laden edition of the essay the overall book claims to be.

	Exploration # 6: The Uncanny in Mark Z. Danielewski's "House of Leaves" by Nele Bemong
		The uncanny effect in House of Leaves can then be understood as a combination of Jentsch's intellectual insecurity, and of Freud's characterisation of the uncanny as everything that should have remained secret and concealed, and has nonetheless come to light.
		In House of Leaves, Danielewski narratively repeats Freud's movement: at first, Jentsch's postulation seems to describe most accurately what is going on: the uncanny feeling arises from the not-knowing, the not being able to explain the phenomena taking place in the house.
		Navidson's return to the house could, in the last resort, be regarded as an encounter with the threat of death, which, as a photographer, he never had felt, because he had always placed someone else between himself and the threat.

	Flak Magazine: Mark Z. Danielewski Profile, 05-06-00
		The author is in town to promote his much-buzzed-about new novel, "House of Leaves", a 700-page opus that uses narrative layering, multiple typefaces and typographical trickery to pull its reader through a horror/love story about a house whose dimensions are larger within that without.
		And "House of Leaves" does move all over the place, using layouts designed for, among other things, moving the reader along at a rate that keeps pace with the action in the novel.
		They found a freelance computer on one of the floors at Random House (Random House is a parent company of Pantheon), and I worked on it.

		First, there is the story about a house which expands and shrinks with no apparent reason (the author provides no explanation for this illogical transformation at all).
		The characters in the house explore the ever expanding and changing part of the house and though each exploration is short, long documentary types of explanation and analysis are given by an enormous amount of imaginative scholars.
		Very often the story goes away from the main investigation on the "house" and starts to dwell on the psychological meaning of what is happening, drawing analogies from a number of works (some fictitious) in a good number of different languages (don't worry, translation is provided to almost all of them).

	House of Leaves - Book Commentary by Julio (proudestmonkeys.com)
		House of Leaves is superficially a horror story which has drawn comparisons to Blair Witch both because of its creepy subject matter and its quirky, original, pseudo-non-fiction style.
		The reader must work his way through the dense text as he is exploring the story, just as Johnny Truant must wade his way through Zampano's rambling work, and the Navidson family slowly discovers the unusual properties of their new home.
		Because House of Leaves is so unique, I fully expect that the number of people who enjoy this book will be about equal to the number of those who hate it.

		House Of leaves is a bit hard to describe -- not only because if defies description, but because it's one of those "revealing anything about it reveals a lot about it" books, and you want readers to go into it cold if at all possible.
		Despite the fact that author Mark Z Danielewski put four layers between me and the house at the heart of the book and went on to emphasize that the house was fictional even within the context of the story itself, I was still riveted.
