One of those pieces that is fictional but I would give everything to read 🫦. My latest obsession imprinted in my mind forever.

Book by Mark Z Danielewski where:
A young LA tattoo artist named Johnny finds an unfinished academic paper (the incomplete life’s work of his friend’s murdered neighbor) that analyzes a cult documentary film, in which a family moves into a strange house, one that changes shape and size and hides an endless labyrinth in its walls. Johnny tries to edit and annotate the text, while journaling about his own life, as he starts to lose his mind.
It’s a story within a story within a story — about obsession, and hell, and grief and finding yourself lost (and I think a lot more), all written in the form of diary entries, transcripts, essays, poems, letters and footnotes.
It reads like a choose your own adventure book, and is itself a monster and a maze. Pretty dark and really beautiful.

i checked this out from the library last march and it has been collecting dust for almost a year literally just because of how scary it is... couldnt finish it... im returning it tomorrow... it's really amazingly written, the story is so unique, and the art is stunning (it's a graphic novel) i am just a baby—i would get sooo immersed but often read it just before bed which was such a bad idea but reading it in the park also feels weird? it's simply meant for a braver soul. i got about halfway before giving up but i can give it a full recommendation it's really remarkable!! about a town that gets consumed by a mysterious curse.
