Reviews pic related for Christmas after hearing it had major vibes towards unsettling horror (namely along the lines of like Jacob's Ladder, Silent Hill, The Fountain, etc.)
I've read the introduction and flipped through the bulk of the book and I'm pretty sure I'm going to like it. Any thoughts? It seems like it might confuse me a few times throughout.

Read it twice in a row.

I enjoyed it, but it's hardly horror and not unsettling. It's a book about a horror book about a house that isn't a house.
More of the story takes place in the footnotes and supplementary material than what is initially obvious. There are also many secret messages hidden in the text that alter (subtly and profoundly) the story.
MY DEAR ZAMPANO, WHO DID YOU LOSE?

What secret messages altered the plot and how? I read it years ago and can't remember the details.

It's an experience that you best appreciate as it comes. The book unfolds and ramps up at it's own pace and jumping ahead like this ruins the impact
