HOUSE OF LEAVES. HOUSE OF LEAVES. READ HOUSE OF LEAVES. I MEAN IF YOURE IN A GOOD MENTAL STATE BECAUSE IF YOURE NOT IT WILL KILL YOU. BUT READ HOUSE OF LEAVES.

a collection of slides. they read: if you like MYTH by the narcissist cookbook you should try
matt's inspiration: House of leaves, the fifty year sword, the ghost stories of MR James, the collected stories of Jorge Luis Borges, the lost songs of st kilda
other stories like MYTH: Starless Sea, Annihilation, The Secret of St. Kilda, and S.
Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. who is she? a book that alternates between excerpts from fictional fairy tale books and the story of a college student caught up in the search for a secret, underground library. Why it's like Myth: Stories within stories, unreality, fairy tales, themes of narrative compulsion/agency, queer
Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer. who is she? a book in which a group of scientists go to survey a remote natural region and try to collect information whilst avoiding the 100% death rate of previous survey groups. Why it's like Myth: Remote setting, unreliable narrator, fucked up lighthouse, themes of compulsion/agency— for the fungus enjoyers
The Secret of St Kilda. who is she? a podcast about a conman who goes to live on a remote island in St. Kilda and slowly uncovers the island's dark secrets. Why it's like Myth: remote outer Hebridean setting, surreal mystery, themes of compulsion/agency, TMA enjoyers will recognize some familiar voices
S. by Doug Dorst and JJ Abrams. who is she? a book that consists of a text and two students commenting in the margins as they try to unravel the secrets of the author's disappearance and identity. Why it's like Myth: Stories within stories, unravelling mysteries, palimpsest format, a tad timey-wimey
please be unhinged about MYTH with me

made for IG but I feel like the Tumblr weirdos will enjoy this more
