In which Carla goes deeper into the Five and a Half Hallway and The Three Attic Whalestoe Letters of the House of Leaves novel (fourth and fifth episodes in the series). Remember, Mother loves you.

The House of Leaves universe:

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski 

The Whalestoe Letters: From House of Leaves 

Poe’s album “Haunted”: Apple, Spotify

Demented domiciles: the term I coined for houses in literature and movies for houses that are just Not Right. My favorite is Anne Rivers Siddons’ The House Next Door.
