Revisiting the Perennially Creepy House of Leaves
Mark Z. Danielewski Guests on the So Many Damn Books Podcast
With both of the guys out of the running for the SuperRooster bet, they decide to jointly choose a ~spooky~ author for a backlist episode: Mark Z. Danielewski. A descent into House of Leaves ensues, with much talk of ergodic literature, dreams, home-buying, and more. We promise no jump-scares in this one!
