It's an abnormaly written allegory for loneliness. Theres a lot going on in the book, but the terror starts when a journalist discovers that his new house is a fraction of an inch bigger on the inside than the outside. After that door leading to a pitch black room just shows up in their house.

It's a great book. Gave me nightmares.

I am guessing no one's gonna give an actual answer to what the meme is about (yes I know it's from house of leaves, I have 0 interest in reading it) so would be actually nice to have a more in depth explanation

The story begins with a man doing the things described in the picture. He is puzzled and becomes interested in finding out more about it. His wife is not very happy about it. It's easy to get lost in a new hobby. Other people have written their opinions on the strange house, and those are included.

I need to read that book again. It was scary, but I finished it utterly confused. I clearly missed a ton from the appendices.

In today's economy the bank might take that extra back.
