House of Leaves

houseofleaves.jpgFirst off, you guys are awesome. We got so many great recommendations for scary books for this month's Convince Us.

It was hard to choose, what with the late addition of Chuck Palahniuk's "Haunted" (sounds gross and awesome, kinda like our dates) to the short stories of Ray Bradbury; we had a hard time making a decision.

We ended up choosing "House of Leaves" by Mark Danielewski. We've never read it, and our curiosity is piqued. Plus, we want to see if we can be one of the few to actually finish the book. And his new book, "Only Revolutions" looks so crazy, maybe we should start with the older one first.

Thanks again for all the great suggestions! We'll read the book and do a review at the end of the month.

Creepy.
