I wanted to revisit this thread for a number of reasons.
One, I found this book in the library yesterday and could not remember where I had heard of it before. And two, to anyone who has read it, can you clear something up for me? I am a christian through and through so as such, I personally choose not to dabble in anything occultish. What is the deal with the house? Is it posessed? Or is it a Dark Water kind of thing where it is a metaphor for inner struggles and demons?

Indeed, there is no "right" answer to what the house is. Personally, I believe it does have a "sentience", but not a mature one. I think the mind of the house is like the mind of a child, that wants attention and to be fussed over but gets irritable and cranky when it doesn't get it's own way.

Congratulations, you have intrigued me and I shall no doubt be buying this book soon, even if it'll just mean my backlog gets even longer...

I tried to find this locally without success. Sad

Guess to Amazon I go.

Wow coffeegirl you really dragged this up from the depths. The last post on this thread was made almost 6 years ago!

Regardless, I love the book also. My copy is covered in post-its and it very frayed at the edges from too many hours spent pouring through the pages looking for codes.
If you search for the HoL forums theres a lot of info, and stuff is kinda still being discovered.

I have to say that this looks good. I'm not much of a reader anyway, but like the weird and wonderful ones!

(As an aside, anyone into graphic novels like Watchmen, etc?)
