Description

Graveyard shot. It was one of my favourites at the time, but came out so very dark on my computer.

The text there is from House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.
A book that I have not read. But do intend to. Soon...

And so I took quotation advice from ~ samfitz88 and it is therefore ALL HIS FAULT. Whatever it is.

If one is so curious and doesn't want to lose one's eyesight trying to read the text, it says...

To get a better idea try this: focus on these words and whatever you do don't let your eyes wander past the perimeter of this page. Now imagine just beyond your peripheral vision , maybe behind you, maybe to the side of you, maybe even in front of you, but right where you can't see it, something is quietly closing in on you, so quiet in fact you can only hear it as silence. Find these pockets without sound. That's where it is. Right at this moment. But don't look. Keep your eyes here. Now take a deep breath. Go ahead take an even deeper one. Only this time as you start to exhale try to imagine how fast it will happen, how many times it will stab your jugular with its teeth or are they nails?, don't worry, that particular detail doesn't matter, because before you have time to even process that you should be moving, you should be running, you should at the very least be flinging up your arms - you sure as hell should be getting rid of this book - you won't even have time to scream.
Don't look.


I feel like I'm violating something right now...
And so to make myself feel less guilty, everybody go buy the book. And send one to me. Yeah. Thanks. Good.

Fuckin' love that book, and this really goes well with the theme of the story.
