House of Leaves - Mark Danielewski
" A blind old man, a young apprentice working in a tattoo shop, and a mad woman haunting an Ohio institute narrate this story of a family that encounters an endlessly shifting series of hallways in their new home, eventually coming face to face with the awful darkness lying at its heart."
A book within a book about a house within a house. It's creepy. When you read it at night, you don't want to walk down the dark hallway to your room.
Danielewski also makes the book as hard to navigate as the endless black labyrinth inside the house. Here are some examples:
What you can't see in the photos is that some of that text is upside down, some is sideways, and some of it can only be read in a mirror.
