Rick and Faith are reading this book called House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. He's the brother of the singer Poe. anyway, some of it sounded to me like it could be a metaphor for multiplicity.

it's not, he's not multiple that I know of, but it still sounds like it to me.

anyway, basically, inside this house, is a door that shouldn't really lead to anywhere, cos the space doesn't allow for it, but it leads into this hallway anyway. the hallway keeps expanding and changing, sort of reflecting the emotional state of the people who live in the house.

anyone heard of/read it? any thoughts?

I've heard of it to. Isn't that her father, though? She has an entire song called House of Leaves.

the backstory:

Tad Z. Danielewski was father to Mark Z. Danielewski(the author of house of leaves) and Anne Danielewski, aka Poe.

Mark wrote a book, using metaphor to illustrate his feelings on not only his father's death, but also to a number of recordings of his father he and poe found after Tad's death.

the find of the recordings moved Poe and Mark deeply.

Poe wrote the album "Haunted" to mirror House of Leaves. The two companion each other, and most readers believe that you cannot solve the mystery of one without the other.

House of Leaves the song is on Haunted, and is a direct reference to the book, as are tracks like "Haunted" "Exploration B" and "Dear Johnny".

Both siblings thank and reference the other in their respective works.

Ah, gotcha. I love Poe. Haunted was a bit creepy for the youngers in the system, but personally, I've always loved the fact that she used actual recordings of her father's voice in her songs. She must have really loved him.
