House of Leaves: The weirdest book ever?
I've heard of this peculiar novel before and finally came across it today. It's like a book equivalent to the Blair Witch Project as it reads as a documentation or scrapbook of strange events involving a frightening house in New England that defies physics preserved as The Navidson Record. The new owner of the house returns from vacation to find a new door in the hallway. After measuring the new room it is determined that somehow the interior is actually physically larger than the outside measures. They also discover that their closet is growing bigger until it finally becomes a deep abyss into nothingness. The family's children become lost within the house's strange labrynth and eventually emerge to tell of a dark creature living in it and growing in power.
While the premise is really bizarre, the book's appearance is equally strange. It gives you the point of view of a few main characters and each character has their own font so the appearance of the book changes as you go. Everytime you see the word "House" it is printed in faded ink. As the story progresses further the type is moved in different positions almost as if it were written by Jack Torrance. Sometime there are paragraphs printed sideways or diagonally up in the corners of the page.
The very first page says ominously " This is not for you"
