Someone e-mailed me a suggestion of a novel that’s similar to the television show Lost: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. It’s a good example, mainly because the novel attempts to redefine the line of its own reality as the narrative progresses. I remember being drawn by the suggestion that House was a real manuscript when I first picked it up at Joseph-Beth Booksellers years ago. It’s a very scary (and flawed) novel about a strange house that seems to change dimensions once its owners move inside. Like Lost, it stretches genre: it’s essentially a horror novel, but sci-fi tropes abound. Also like Lost, Danielewski uses the false document theme to create “layers” in the story that supercede the constraints of reality. Good suggestion, reader.
