ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski presents a complex narrative, intertwining multiple stories. The main plot follows a family, the Navidsons, who discover that their house on Ash Tree Lane is larger on the inside than the outside. This leads them down a path of exploration into the strange, shifting interior of the house. Simultaneously, a character named Johnny Truant becomes obsessed with a manuscript by a deceased man named Zampanò which documents the Navidsons' story, as well as a mysterious film called "The Navidson Record". Johnny's investigation into the manuscript blurs the lines of reality, as he deals with his own struggles and relationships. The book explores themes of space, perception, the uncanny, and the psychological impact of obsession, through a fragmented and unreliable narrative. The story leaves many questions unanswered about the nature of the house and the characters, creating a sense of unease and ambiguity.
