This book is intimidating. The End.
I guess that isn't good enough, well fine. My with this novel begins with either my friend suggesting it for the next book we read together or finding it listed with the top horror novels of all time. Either way it was predestined that I should read this book.
When I first got my hands on this book I was a little confused by its appearance. This doesn't look like a horror novel at all. Actually it gave me the impression that it was some sort of guide to travel or a book on real estate. Then I flipped quickly through the pages and well maybe because of it's that time of the year, but this looks like a college textbook. Seriously there is a table of contents that looks like anything but horror. There is an index in the back along with appendixes. Finally in the book there appear to be footnotes and diagrams.
I honestly thought I had the wrong book until I noticed something on the back cover. There was a little icon that read "POE", and next to it was "Haunted" "www.realpoe.com". Through my preliminary research I discovered an artist I rather enjoy had something to do with this book. Her stage name is Poe and I learned of her through a song on the Blair Witch Project 2 soundtrack called "Haunted". I have still yet to determine how that album and song tie into the reading of this book if they do at all.
Holy hell what happened here. Opening the book to about the midway point it looks like shit hits the fan. There are pages where the text is crossed out. Other pages where words are missing for the most page. One page has Braille. More pages with words written in every which direction. Oh no these words are upside down. These are sideways. What is happening here?
