      If you enjoyed the book, check out the album “Haunted” by Poe. Anyone with a functioning radio in the 90s may have heard Angry Johnny a time or ten but she’s got some other good tracks too. Poe is the stage name of Anne Danielewski and, if the last name is familiar, that’s because she’s the House of Leaves author’s sister.

        Not the OP but I have read the book. It’s very unique and the story is told in some pretty strange ways. Parts are written backwards, in code, in the margin of the pages, etc. I think it’s a great experience and I’m glad to see it on that table. I’ve never read anything else like it.

          OMG!!! I was friends with a girl (smalls) in the early 2000’s at tech school for the Air Force and every once in a while throughout the years when I’ve thought about her I’ve always wondered what this book was and tried to figure out a way to google it so I could get a copy. You have solved a twenty+ year life mystery for me, thank you so much!

      Notice how its the only copy? All the others on that table have small stacks. It’s like someone got it off the shelves deeper into the shop and then their nerve failed them.
