House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski is a mind-bending horror novel that defies conventional storytelling. It follows multiple narrative threads, primarily focusing on a family that discovers their new home is impossibly larger on the inside than it is on the outside. As they explore the shifting, labyrinthine corridors, terror unfolds. Simultaneously, an outsider named Johnny Truant uncovers a manuscript about the house and spirals into paranoia. The book’s unconventional structure, with footnotes, multiple fonts, and textual puzzles, creates a deeply immersive and unsettling experience.
