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?

We read that ages ago. He didn't strike us as being multiple. It's a takeoff on the Winchester House legend. Stephen King used the same house as the basis for Rose Red.

do you have a website on the legend? I never heard of it.
I mean, I've heard of the winchester house...just no real legends surrounding it, unless you count the haunting...ok, never mind...it seems I'm on crack today.

Hey yeah, Shirley used it too! Well, there's your multiplicity connection, since Shirley also wrote a book The Birds' Nest (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0317277278/ref=ase_astraeaswebmulti/103-9348129-4651055?v=glance&s=books) about multiplicity -- keep in mind that it's Shirley's unique take on multiplicity but she did do some research with a psych prof, This was before 3 faces of Eve. In fact there's some reason to believe that the guys who wrote 3 faces rushed it into print and also rushed a movie deal to compete with Lizzie, the film of Shirley's book.

Go Shirley, we love YOU!!!
