The virgin backrooms vs the Chad house of leaves.

Fabulous voice acting and sound production effectively infused the time with illusions of distance, destruction, and unseen danger. Bloop, bloop, BLEEP. Now, since this is a radio play about a book about a film about a house, I tried to accept the repeated Bloop, bloop, BLEEP as having contextual sense. I remember such alerts sounding when old film reels showed the countdown at the beginning.

Just finished the book this morning. It'll take a while to fully digest, but I appreciate your quite well done narration and condensation, not an easy thing for such a book.

Oh no it's not me, this is one-off BBC production, The actors are all National Theatre so some of the US accents are imperfect but it's professional actors.

This is amazing. More people need to see this !!

This is incredible, will ask for the book as a gift from someone who's stuck for ideas.

Thank you for this. I've been dying to read or hear about this part of the book. I ve heard so much about house of leaves and didn't want to read the entire thing because I've heard it can be pretty crazy.

You should read it! I was intimidated too but it really is an easier read than it seems

Looking for something like this made from house of leaves for AGES this is awsome

Well done. I love it.

That was incredible, well done! 😁 🚪 🏡

This is great. Thanks Hornytoad!

Awesome!

The BBC have over the years broadcast a series of horror-themed radio dramas based on stories as varied as Ringu, Don't Look Now and The Lair of the White Worm. Some of them date back to 1978, and this is from 2011. I found a collection of them online.

It's sort a superficial version of the story about the house itself. It doesn't have the framing narrative, which is really half the book.

What exactly is meant by "ergodic novel?"

Just stopping by to save everyone potentially a ton of time trying to make sense of this book is a sisyphean task trying to make sense of house of leaves is like Will poking around in the labyrinth you aren't going to get anything but lost there isn't actually anything to find if you manage to find your way back out there is no reason to go back in well I guess unless you enjoy futile efforts. You have to be like Johnny when he decides he isn't ever going to make sense of the manuscript. Mark himself will tell you much like his clues do x or y or z. It is funny to him kinda funny in general he is lying maybe as a joke because he thinks you should know better by now. It is perfectly natural very human to want to solve it but it isn't a problem. You have to reconcile you just won't ever know things that are unknowable. You go to the forums and you get all the cop-out answers ooh its about whatever the reader wants (if they means the books sells a ton and earns the me a ton of money the author says in their internal monologue when they feed you that line). The book is a book of course there is some merit in the way it is written to seem like there is a deeper meaning but too many people fail to realize their explanation is verifiably false or alternatively completely unfalsiable at all. You are I speculate supposed to try hard to figure it out yet still eventually realize "wait the reason I can't find the deeper meaning isn't because I am bad at figuring it out it wasn't ever there in the first place why can't English teachers just read a book they don't need raises they don't need jobs at all how is anyone surprised to learn American children hate reading when so much of the curriculum is pretentious losers trying to act like martyrs when their motivation is summers off maybe the last part is more me than actually the book. In summary the point is there is no point that is what makes it so meta no it is not ever about whatever you want it to be about but you can write your own book where you and your selfinsert character have snarky exchanges with stolen IPs yeah Harry Potter would totally be a demiqueer socialist ponykin with crippling depression. Don't use the wand like that though you are going to get your rectum perforated and you don't want to get ecoli in your bloodstream or maybe you do and you are totally a unicorn okeez lol XD XD

if that's what you believe, then why go though the trouble or writing all that? I mean, if: "There is no meaning" is the meaning, then why are you preaching the perils of perforating one's rectum? ps I'm very impressed you wrote so many words, and not a one YT finds worthy of censure.

WRONG!. ECHOES THE CHIPHER!! if you wanna find it out yourself you have to do a lot of work plus the extra reading with Johnny's mom. but the point is pretty clear once you understand the point of correlating themes between Johnny, Will, Zampano, and Mark himself. all and all point of the book is a "memoir to a minitour"

Unicorn here.. read the book n loved it for it own uniqueness.

I wanted to read the book until I tried listening to this. The voice acting sucks as much as the dialogue. If they're reading actual lines from the book, there's no way I could take any of these characters seriously.

Truly, underlyingly foreboding with an unhealthy dash of horrific malignancy to keep one measuring the dimensions of old musty basements and crawl spaces hitherto newly discovered in this 3 story 139 year old house. Located alone, atop this hill overlooking the borderlands of this massive Louisiana swamp. Where they say the bea.....
