Editor’s note American writer best known for House of Leaves, a horror novel about a family whose house is slightly bigger inside than outside, buried under layers of commentary: a blind man’s study of a documentary that may not exist, annotated by a troubled young man. The text itself twists across the page, runs sideways and backwards and thins to single words as the house’s corridors grow. A demanding cult classic and his most read and highest rated book. Tom’s Crossing is his long 2025 novel.
