![]() I think I'm similar to you in my taste in creepy movies - I like psychological ones with a creepy atmosphere, not jump scares or anything like that. No matter how much the concept of the house intrigued me, the bulk of the novel was so horrible that reading it was pure suffering, I just wanted to burn it. It's just so nauseatingly over the top and it's constant and never-ending, it's so narcissistic. I'm a neurologist, and even top studies and breakthroughs in neurology don't gain anywhere near the level of worship and exaltation that this novel attributes to Navidson's video. But in this novel it's like the most brilliant scholars in the world's top universities are in constant intrigue of every mundane bit of conversation in Navidson's video. At best it may draw the attention of, say, a lot of people on Reddit or a similar group or something. Even before youtube there was a lot of stuff like this on and off the internet. there are countless videos like this on youtube, of presumably mysterious and impossible phenomena. taking this idea of Navidson's video and acting like the most important scholars at Harvard have written entire dissertations on even completely mundane parts of the people's conversations in it. ![]() (For any male or female readers who think that female readers should just "get over the misogyny" and put up with it for the sake of reading about the cool phenomenon in the house - I wonder if you would be of a similar mind if a novel had constant, never-ending misandry?)Īnd just. It was fantastic how he spent so much of the novel making Navidson sooooo important, and then talked about about how "his wife is making it all about herself." Like all of the egotistical narcissistic presentation of Navidson strikes him as completely warranted and understandable so it doesn't even occur to him that maybe there was anything self-gratifying about it, like how dare the woman not center him in her life for a moment. It's like all he does in a day is just get off to adult movies and then write down about what he saw in his novel. It's like this author's entire idea of what a woman is is a sex object who either has zero personality, or she has some negative personality aspects scattered in-between her being an embodiment of sex. However, in order to get to this concept I had to wade through pages upon pages of extremely gratuitous, narcissistic, self-absorbed, self-important, egotistical descriptions of how super important and wonderful Navidson presumably was - and, even worse, some of the most spectacularly misogynistic presentations of women I have ever read in a novel. I read it because I was compelled by the concept of the house which had a mysterious series of impossible passages in it, this idea vastly intrigued me. I have read House of Leaves and I absolutely detested it. If you are someone who liked House of Leaves and cannot tolerate reading a negative review of it, please skip my post and move on.
