I’ll admit it, they were fun books to read back when I was a young shithead. I’d wait for their release with bated breath.
I mean, yeah, dumb as fuck in retrospect especially considering all the insane things she’s said but they were the definition of easy read page turners for kids, like Boxcar children.
Wish I could say I was weaving through House of Leaves at the age of 10 but it’s not my fault, blame my parents
I really want to see a House of Leaves movie or TV series, but I don't know that it'd work. Part of that book's experience is the fourth wall breaks and how the text itself becomes another puzzle. It's almost like a graphic novel (literally) with how the words turn into images or how they're organized on the page. I think the closest I've seen to anyone else doing this is Vonnegut and comic books have played with fonts/typography for as long as they've been around.
You would have a hard time re-creating this effect visually. I think they could try doing something fuckery like Bandersnatch on Netflix that was an interactive movie. Like watching House of Leaves messes with your TV.

That would be reallh interesting. Or maybe a point and click video game would be a good format
