House of Leaves (stylized with "house" in blue) is the debut novel by American author Mark Z. Danielewski, published in March 2000 by Pantheon Books. A bestseller, it has been translated into a number of languages, and is followed by a companion piece, The Whalestoe Letters. The novel is written as a work of epistolary fiction and metafiction focusing on a fictional documentary film titled The Navidson Record, presented as a story within a story discussed in a handwritten monograph recovered by the primary narrator, Johnny Truant. The narrative makes heavy use of multiperspectivity as Truant's footnotes chronicle his efforts to transcribe the manuscript, which itself reveals The Navidson Record's supposed narrative through transcriptions and analysis depicting a story of a family who discovers a larger-on-the-inside labyrinth in their house.

Es un libro entre la categoría mindfuck, es decir de abstrusa comprensión y también es de terror.
O sentimento de paranóia e obcessão impresso nas páginas servirá de chave para acordar a obcessão do leitor. Fica connosco por anos. Para ler e reler.
Un libro que desafía todos los límites conocidos de la literatura. La recompensa es enorme para quienes se comprometan con esta inmensa lectura. Te volará la cabeza.
Es sin duda mi libro favorito, intrigante, interactivo y muy curioso. De estos que cuando empiezas no puedes parar de leer.
