"Phenomenon... terrifyingly alive, hauntingly scary, disturbingly frightening, astonishingly clever." Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho

"An utterly terrifying entertainment, a satire on criticism, and a reflection on how we read." OBSERVER

A young couple - Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson and his partner Karen Green - move into a small house on Ash Tree Lane. Very soon it becomes apparent that something is wrong - their new home is larger on the inside than on the outside.

Neither Will nor Karen are prepared to face the consequences of this impossibility until the day their two young children wander off and their voices begin to tell another story - of the creature in the dark, of an ever-expanding abyss behind a closet, and of that unholy growl that will soon break through their walls and consume all their dreams and breed nightmares.

The events were recorded loosely on video and interviews, leading an eccentric old man to compile - on loose sheets, tarnished napkins, filled notebooks - a definitive record of what happened on Ash Tree Lane, which seems to reveal a striking and terrifying story.

Because these scraps prove to be much more than the paranoid quests of a reclusive old man...

Incredibly imaginative. Impossible to put down. Impossible to forget. House of Leaves is captivating, terrifying, and unlike anything you have ever read before.
