In early June of 1990, the Navidsons flew to Seattle for a wedding. When they returned, something in the house had changed. Though they had only been away for four days, the change was enormous. It was not, however, obvious—like for instance a fire, a robbery, or an act of vandalism. Quite the contrary, the horror was atypical.

I would rather not go
Back to the old house.
There’s too many bad memories.
-The Smiths, “Back to the Old House”

This one has been on my book list. Thanks for the review. I will give it a shot.
Another bizarre book that I love is City of Saints and Madmen by Jeff VanderMeer
Thank you. I have got hold of City of Saints and Madmen and will surely give it a go.
I’d also add Infinite Jest to ‘cult’ books. I don’t believe Mark Danielewski’s other works got the same hype as this. Maybe I’ll give House of Leaves another shot from when I quit halfway thru twenty years ago.

Chameleon Candidates ain’t no good
In halls of power, they change their skin
A new accent with each vote to win
Yesterday’s posh, today’s street smart
Tomorrow’s twang – it’s all an art
Not who they are, but who they’d be
A linguistic fraud for all to see
The best answer would be to leave the creole-language English exclusively to the Negroes and their friends, because it now serves as the ideal/fatal vehicle for the browning of the white race. Instead, I suggest all whites learn German so that the worst nightmare of all Germanophobes finally comes true.
