Ohhhhhhh. Sagan Hawkes just dropped a three and a half mile essay about The House Of Leaves..........

(If you haven't read the book, go do that first, and since he's gonna tie this in with MyHouse.wad, then play that or watch a playthrough, and only then watch the essay.)

(Seriously. House of Leaves is not a read so much as an experience. It's the book I feel the most about every time I'm reminded it exists.)

Navidson: Why won't you publish my documentary??

Film Producer: Well, first there's the pacing issue.

Navidson: YES!!! That's what I've been trying to explain! The house measures a half pace bigger on the inside!!

House of Leaves is just Neverending Story for adult trauma.

@corbden Fitting, apt, and should also carry a trigger warning. 😅
That $&#&ing book!!! I've never been so mad at a collection of pages before or since in my life.
@Cetraria That's how you know it's good art.
@corbden it's certainly that!
@corbden For me, more "ordeal" than experience
@catscatscats An ordeal is a kind of experience...
@corbden Not dissimilar from the experience of emotional abuse. But yes, an experience more than a read. Again, very well described!
