Carla is: a bookdragon; a 50-something with psychology and counseling degrees with post-grad work in grief/loss/trauma, sex crimes, and forensic anthropology; a woman who has lived in three haunted houses; a former freelance journalist and counselor, who is never bored; a disabled introvert who sees connections everywhere--like John Nash, only less math-y; a knitting fidget who loves horror movies with a skewed passion. Like one of her heroes, Harriet the Spy, she wants to learn everything and write in all down in her commonplace book. Join her (and sometimes her friends) in her strange library as she INFJs everything from unused angles. It’s going to get weird in the best way. Let’s play.

House of Leaves Recap 4 and 5/5: Build a Casket for My Tears: 98

In which Carla goes deeper into the Five and a Half Hallway and The Three Attic Whalestoe Letters of the House of Leaves novel (fourth and fifth episodes in the series). Remember, Mother loves you.

The House of Leaves universe: 
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski  
The Whalestoe Letters: From House of Leaves  
Poe’s album “Haunted”: Apple, Spotify

Demented domiciles: the term I coined for houses in literature and movies for houses that are just Not Right. My favorite is Anne Rivers Siddons’ The House Next Door.
