what's house of leaves?
the short version is, it's a book about a book about a book about a book about a movie that never existed about a house that's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. it is probably the single most famous/notorious existing work of "ergodic fiction", meaning basically fiction which exists in such a complex relationship with its medium that it takes nontrivial effort just to consume, meaning uhhhh a lot of it looks like this,
or worse!
it's like, fifty percent an extremely high-effort mockery of modern academia, it's often doing its active best to be completely incomprehensible to you, its and i cannot emphasize this enough A Space With A Beast In It. its awfully dear to my heart also. or as mark z danielewsky who wrote it puts it:
"I had one woman come up to me in a bookstore and say, 'You know, everyone told me it was a horror book, but when I finished it, I realized that it was a love story.' And she's absolutely right.

hi johnny truant hiiiiiiii
sketch + explanations under break
^ sketch/lineart since you cant really see it in the actual drawing lol.
afaik, theres no real concrete description of what he looks like (aside from very vague stuff + his arm scars), so i just made some shit up based off his lifestyle lmfao.
i reallyyyyy wanted to make the golden ratio blue to match the house, but it just didnt look good no matter how i twisted it around - dark blue just didnt pop.
im happy with this in the end, though - i think i made the vision work.
i love johnny too, his footnotes were a breath of fresh air after the Horror bits of the navidson record. though i am taking him at a bit face value, i.e. assuming johnny is like a real person and kind of just ignoring some more creative theories on his identity.
