Hah. So House of Leaves is basically the logical conclusion of the Scarlet Letter?

Its wild. A manuscript of a indepth analysis of movie no one has seen or heard of is found by some guy who assembles it together and intersperse journal like entries of their life throughout footnotes. Oh and the manuscript was written by a blind man.

Technically the manuscript was dictated by a blind man. And the guy writing the footnotes gradually goes insane as the narrative goes on

One of my favorite reading experiences. Worth experiencing for sure!
