- House of Leaves, or perhaps I should say “Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves, by Zampanò, with introduction and notes by Johnny Truant”. It’s complicated — basically it’s an annotated version of the partially destroyed notes for a critical work concerning a documentary film about a haunted house. Although you could also suggest that the house is made up by the documentary filmmaker, the film by the critic, or the critic by Johnny Truant. Or any combination of the above. This is a return on proofing-for-books, which wasn’t on my wishlist but should have been. Thanks Jacob, good choice!
- Amphigorey Too and Amphigorey Also, by Edward Gorey. These beauties are also proofing payment (apparently Amphigorey is still in the post). Many thanks Ralph, and of course you can borrow them back. When I’ve finished reading them. Tomorrow, in other words.
