Anyone read House of Leaves? Looks amazingly thought-out and deep.

House of Leaves is an amazing book. Most horror novels don't impress me that much anymore, but I have to say that this book was nothing if not impressive. I realize that House of Leaves is only kinda sorta a "horror" novel, but it's the label that fits more than any other.

So have you read to the end yet? I'd love to hear your theories on just what was really going on.

I've only gotten past a few chapters in a previous attempt at reading it, but put it down a for while since then. I'm going to go back and re-read those sections and continue, so I guess you could say I just started. Will definately post my thoughts after finishing, though. :)

I just finished In the Flesh by Clive Barker.....a first edition printing from the local used book store for 5.00...it was a pretty interesting read, I found the original story the movie Candyman was based on. Still, I didn't like it as much as some of his other work....Books of Blood volume one had better stories overall in my opinion.

i'm about 5 stories into a 'best of lovecraft' compilation.

i appreciate the guy but he uses a lot of the same plot/structure devices over and over again.

its starting to read like Creepy/Tales From the Crypt a little too much when he gets away from the chulthutootooramalamadingdong mythos.

a little of thats a good thing .. but not so great in large doses .. too samey.

I don't wanna make a new thread just for this one simple query so I'll ask it here.



Haven't read a book in awhile, started a couple that didn't really catch my interest, so I'm looking for suggestions. I'd like something horror, psychological, mystery but anything really interesting will do.

Have you ever read any of the Saint-Germain books by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro? They're very good. I can send you a list of the titles, just let me know and I'll pm them to you.

I just finished the first three "Cat Who" books by Lilian Jackson Braun. They're excellent! They're murder mysteries - I was not able to figure out who the murderer was.

Horror, psychological, mystery? Sounds like Peter Straub's "Blue Rose" trilogy would work for you. In order, the books are Mystery, Koko, and The Throat. I usually don't get into mystery type books, but this series is great.
