Imagine Doctor Who's 'Tardis' in book form... this takes you only part of the way into the extraordinary, terrifying, thrilling, mind-expanding story that is House of Leaves - a masterpiece of horror and an immersive, maze-like reading experience that redefines the boundaries of a novel.

First-ever UK hardback publication

  • Deluxe edition with foil cover
  • Complete final FULL-COLOUR text
  • Special embossed 'maze' case design

Now published in hardback in the UK for the first time, the nightmarish story of a house that is bigger on the inside than the outside - a tale that continues to inspire devotion among its ever-growing army of fans...

'Phenomenal... thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathtakingly intelligent.' - BRET EASTON ELLIS

'Genuinely clever and learned, often funny, brilliantly constructed and surprisingly touching... a debut of scintillating intelligence and scope.' - MAIL ON SUNDAY

'A genuinely scary chiller, a satire on the business of criticism and a meditation on the way we read.' - OBSERVER


A young couple - Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson and his partner Karen Green - move into a small house on Ash Tree Lane.

But something is terribly wrong - their new home is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside...

Neither Will nor Karen are prepared to face the consequences of this impossibility until the day their two small children wandered off, and their voices eerily began to tell another story - of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams and create nightmares.

What happened next is loosely recorded on videotapes and interviews, and impelled an eccentric old man to compile - on loose sheets of paper, stained napkins, crammed notebooks - a definitive account of what took place at Ash Tree Lane that seems to unveil a thrilling and terrifying history.

Because these scraps prove to be far more than the deranged ramblings of a reclusive old man...

Immensely imaginative. Impossible to put down. Impossible to forget. House of Leaves is thrilling, terrifying and unlike anything you have read before.
