Literary Horror 1998

by Mark Z. Danielewski

*Special hardback edition with foil cover* The first-ever UK hardback publication of the cult horror classic, featuring a special embossed 'maze' case design and full-colour text. Get ready to (re)discover the terrifying, thrilling, and mind-expanding immersive classic horror that redefines the boundaries of a novel . . . 'Phenomenal . . . thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathtakingly intelligent.' Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho 'A genuinely scary chiller , a satire on the business of criticism and a meditation on the way we read.' OBSERVER 'I've never read anything like it' ***** Reader review A young couple - Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson and his partner Karen Green - move into a small house on Ash Tree Lane. It soon becomes clear that something is terribly wrong - their new home is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside . . . Neither Will nor Karen are prepared to face the consequences of this impossibility until the day their two small children wander off, and their voices eerily begin to tell another story - of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams and create nightmares. What happened next is loosely recorded on videotapes and in interviews, and impelled an eccentric old man to compile - on loose sheets of paper, stained napkins, crammed notebooks - a definitive account of what took place at Ash Tree Lane that seems to unveil a thrilling and terrifying history. Because these scraps prove to be far more than the deranged ramblings of a reclusive old man . . . Immensely imaginative. Impossible to put down. Impossible to forget. House of Leaves is thrilling, terrifying and unlike anything you have read before. Praise for House of Leaves- 'Genuinely clever and learned, often funny, brilliantly constructed and surprisingly touching . . . a debut of scintillating intelligence and scope.' Mail on Sunday 'An astonishing book . . . buy it, read it, be scared. - SFX 'Intricate, erudite and deeply frightening. ' - Wall Street Journal 'A fascinatingly insane triumph .' - Independent on Sunday 'Demonically brilliant' - Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn 'Strange, highly addictive and slowly creepy' ***** Reader review 'Genuinely chilling ... I can't recommend this book highly enough.' ***** Reader review 'The creativity and originality is astonishing' ***** Reader review
