House of Leaves

First UK edition. 4to. Pp. xxiii, 709. Large-format paperback in glossy covers. Cover photography by Mark Pennington. With appendices, index, credits. States 2nd Edition, but is the first UK printing with the No 1 present on the copyright page. The author considered some internet postings to be the "true first" edition. Issued concurrently with the cased edition, which consisted of fewer than 300 copies in total. Font changes throughout the book, such as Times New Roman (Zampanò), Courier (Johnny Truant), Bookman (The Editors), and Dante (Johnny's mother), serve to differentiate between the multiple narrators' viewpoints.

Author's acclaimed debut novel. A multi-layered narrative focusing on a young family's move to a shape-shifting house on Ash Tree Lane. "[A] great novel. A phenomenal debut. Thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathtakingly intelligent – it renders most other fiction meaningless." –Bret Easton Ellis
