书籍介绍
这不是一本可以平铺直叙讲述的恐怖小说。它用一座内部空间不断变异、走廊无限延伸、房间越钻越小的房子，逼着读者亲自体验迷失、眩晕与失控——有人读它，读的是排版：书页需要翻转、倒置、逐行追踪，阅读行为本身成了对书中疯狂的模拟。它更像一个多声部的迷宫：伪纪录片、学术注释、私人日记层层嵌套，叙事视角彼此撕扯，读者被迫在真伪之间自行判断。它打动人的地方恰恰在于「难读」：当主角Johnny的精神状态逐渐崩解，排版也随之失控，形式与内容合为一体。适合愿意被一本书「反用」的读者；不适合寻求轻松故事的任何人。

精彩摘录
- "unoccupied space will never cease to change simply because nothing forbids it to do so. The continuous internal alterations only prove that such house is necessarily uninhabited."
- "Goethe once remarked in a letter to Johann Peter Eckermann [March 23, 1829]: 'I call architecture frozen music.' The unfreezing of form in the Navidson house releases that music. Unfortunately, since it contains all the harmonies of time and change, only the immortal may savor it. Mortals cannot hel"
- "if one accepts Dahl's reading, then it follows that Holloway's creature comes from Holloway's mind not the house; the tiny room Wa finds himself trapped within reflects his own state of exhaustion and despair; and Navidson's rapid descent reflects his own knowledge that the Spiral Staircase is not b"
- "When revisiting places we once frequented as children, it is not unusual to observe how much smaller everything seems. This experience has too often been attributed to the physical differences between a child and an adult. In fact it has more to do with epistemological dimensions than with bodily di"
- "I went to see a Dr. Ogelmeyer a few days ago and told him everything I could think of about my attacks and the awful anxiety that haunts my every hour. He made an appointment for me with another doctor and then prescribed some medication. The whole thing lasted less than half an hour and including t"
用户评论
这本书很难归类。一开始以为是魔幻+惊悚，可看到最后又觉得似乎应该归属为宗教，虽然字里行间和上帝信仰这些没丝毫联系，但一些潜在的关键词，例如勇气、爱、信念，还是会让我往那方面想。内容则是包罗万象。从人物的摄影到捕捉黑暗，从疯人院到希腊神话，从死亡到母亲的来信。。。主要叙述人时常会介绍一些想法，注明这是某某在某某书或某某采访中提到的。。可就像另一位叙述人B所说，那些书目、脚注根本都是不存在的。而种种迹象也表明，叙述人B也不是很付责任，经常会自己填字或删减。。。加上奇怪的排版和迂回的叙述，有时候会让人觉得颠三倒
When you were a teenage babybat hipster and exposed to hipster trap for the first time in your life. I wouldn't read it again but, good to know you.
也就看个手法，故事没意思，footnote里面塞的故事太无聊了
After a year, I finally finished it
什么傻逼Ergodic literature
说实话真的没看懂也不太能relate，interesting experiment and excellent examples of what bad scholarship looks like. But I can assure u real scholarship is not this ridiculous
语言+副文本实验集大成之作。各种注释（故事世界分为至少四层，拍纪录片的Navidson的，介绍总结纪录片包括相关评论研究的去世老人Zampano的，Johnny Truant的，编辑的；第三第四层主要体现在注释中，第二层也有注释；这本书被呈现为第二版故事，Truant还从演奏人那里发现house of leaves包括与自己相关的内容在网上可读，house of leaves还是navidson最后一次进入房子探险时随身携带的match book，最后一页被烧掉的场景写得很诗意）拼贴文字游戏（T精神病母亲Pelafina写给他的信所有词的首字母拼成隐藏控诉）。排版空间和变换的怪屋空间和叙述空间形成复杂双向的对应，体现文字力量的一本奇书。故事可能是老人打发时间的虚构，被同样痛苦逃避的t获得
很有张力 文字一般
meta fiction+心理惊悚。以各种文字载体和排版作为叙事手法，把“书”这个载体的潜力发挥到极致，算是最大的亮点，但有些学术分析和几个探索篇章还是让人不免觉得有班门弄斧之嫌。对角色心理的多角度描写细致入微，几个着重刻画的角色不算讨喜但都印象深刻（也有用力过猛的，比如Johnny Truant坠入疯狂的过程实在太过繁琐）。 家庭，创伤，和精神疾病等核心主题不由得让我想起阿里·阿斯特。
