two recs of weird fiction

[seperis]

Hmm. There's a term for this type of fiction. I have no idea what it is, but it is fun. And you know, if you are like me and overthink everything, pretty terrifying.

Anyway, non-fanfic, and someone said they were in the House of Leaves family of stories, so.

Dionaea House, a story told in email and chat logs. After done, go livejournal and here, and finally here.

ETA: And several other pages too found by clicking about. Huh.

I, for one, am spooked. And also, never a closet again.

For added claustrophobia, Ted's Caving Page, which actually freaks me out a lot.

I love Dionaea House. I try to reread it for Halloween. The surprise is lessened, but it still is a great bit of storytelling.

There's this gentleman who was studying what he calls "hyperfiction." (http://www.arts.auckland.ac.nz/ftvms737_2006/Kevin%20Veale/Conceptual%20Background.htm) I'm not sure if he's still doing it, or if the style has died out.

That thing is *deeply fun*.
