Artist's Comments

It's actually for :iconreasonably-sunny: who introduced me to House of Leaves, mailed me her copy, and was therefore accessory to the hell being quite frankly scared out of me.

Here, Johnny Truant seems to have found the House. Or, maybe, the House found him. Either way, I think he's going to need a bit more than that one match.

Johnny Truant and the House on Elm Tree Lane belong to Mark Z. Danielewski. If you haven't read House of Leaves, I really recommend you do... if your nerves are fairly strong. If not... refer to the title.

Wow someone else who has read it, awesome pic! I read it a few months ago and managed to get a few other friends to read it as well, amazing (and twisted) piece of literature :)

Oh Hey, I don't often see other people who've read the House of Leaves!

When people would see me with the book, I'd always describe it as "like reading an acid trip".

I like how the distortions in the drawing and the shadows portray the fear and mystery associated with the House.

This statement is a lie.

Creepy houses are the greatest, until you get inside of them.

...That sounded wrong.

I'm going to go home and play my new video game. And by that I mean, it's not new, it's not mine, and it's not a video game. It's a book from the library.

I love a good spooky story - the more twisted, the better. I'll have to look into that book.

The surrealism of the many many stairs just draws me in. It looks like a really awesome bookmark design. :heart:

Johnny seriously needs rescuing. Wherever he ended up.

I say we go do it.

With torches.

Meanwhile, in his chambers at 221b Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes was playing a mournful air on his kazoo.
