Circe, I just ordered House of Leaves and Ghost Story. I am going to save Maplecroft for when I run out of other things because I can get that one on my Kindle. I'm really excited about House of Leaves -- how did I never know about that before?!?

It's epistolary, and I found myself cross referencing frequently, but I never found myself falling down the rabbit hole. I would also definitely read it in hard copy. (As an aside, Neil Gainan's Stardust. It is a crime that text has ever been published without the original illustrations by Charles Vess.). But I'd say it's worth it, especially at this time of year ....
