I haven't read this in maybe 15 years, but I remember enjoying it for what it was. It didn't really strike me as horror, and I remember it feeling very disjointed, which is probably one of the feelings it was trying to elicit?

Anyway, it's worth checking out. Be prepared for lots of footnotes, addenda, and turning of pages.

Ah, I loved this. It's a haunted house novel, both where it's the house that is haunted, and where's it's never made clear whether it's all in the head of our disturbed, polymath protagonist, or whether it's actually the house itself.

Unfilmable, because how do you film a week of cycling downhill in the dark? How do you film a novel that contemplates whether it's possible to have a structure without a centre, or a narrator describing a book about a narrator describing a book?

Lent it to a European friend of mine, who's likely to be able to read all the multilingual asides off the top of her head, and never had it back. Probably still in her house somewhere. Got my stitched copy of Fifty Year Sword upstairs, though - MZD does love a haunted house story.

I'm actually hoping to read this soon. I started it at one point, but I was also in school, and I just couldn't follow it atm. But now I've finished, I'm in the middle of moving, my boyfriend starts up school again, so I'll have extra time for reading. It wasn't the scariest book I've read, but once I got into the flow of reading it with how it's written, I was really enjoying it.
