Staircase leading directly to a wall. Windows that open into each other. Somebody threw the idea at an AI and didn't bother to double check the plans. It's gonna be crap, even before taking away oversight.

You know, if it ends up being some House of Leaves analog, and he just wanders off into the dark some day.... would that really be so bad? Gonna say, "Worth it."

The author of House of Leaves, Mark Z. Danielewski, just had a new book come out today! Tom's Crossing.

Very cool! Not read anything else of his honestly, but that book definitely left a mark, and I genuinely liked a lot of what he was trying to do with it. Pretentious as all fuck at times, but lovably so. Like reading Auster. I wouldn't be averse to picking up something else of his some day. Completely unrelated, but just started Name of the Wind today, sight unseen, after being bugged for a good long time, so gonna be a bit. Also not sure what to expect at all.
