Last read of the year is a family bookclub pick. Wish my family and my sanity luck! #booksky

A novel

Inside cover of house of leaves novel
Reads
Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the internet. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth—musicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkies—the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves on those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children.
Now, for the first time, this astonishing novel is made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and newly added second d and third appendices.
The story remains unchanged, focusing on a young family that moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something terribly wrong: their house (house in dark blue) is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.
Of course, neither Pulitzer prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return 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 of their dreams.

Depends on the moment. Right at this moment it's my family's version of Linzer tarts.

#jokesters 😂🤣Oddly, thankfully, yours is the first I have seen. I think Bluesky (or maybe just my feeds) are an older less -parent of small child- crowd.

But, I'll give you these, since you started it!
