OBSERVER********************************************************************************************A young couple - Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson and his partner Karen Green - move into a small house on Ash Tree Lane.But 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 wandered off, and their voices eerily began 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 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.********************************************************************************************WHAT READERS ARE SAYING-Ive never read anything like it ? ? ? ? ?Strange, highly addictive and slowly creepy ? ? ? ? ?The creativity and originality is astonishing ? ? ? ? ?Buy it, read it, and explore it ? ? ? ? ?

A phenomenal debut. Thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathtakingly intelligent - it renders most other fiction meaningless.
