Recap of the first episode in the series on the universe of the horror novel House of Leaves, so that we may go deeper. Further down and further in.

The House of Leaves universe:



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.

mentioned in the episode:  The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson  (second favorite, okay tied for favorite)
The Divine Comedy I: Inferno by Dante Aligheri, translated by Robin Kirkpatrick 

Theme song and stinger: “Comadreamers I” by Haunted Me, off their Pleasure album, used with permission.
