The Dionaea house

Y'all have to read this. I can't say if it's real or not--I think I admire it more as a work of fiction, actually. But it's just right for Halloween: the search for a man who disappeared while investigating an old friend who went crazy. Make sure you read the "updates" page once you've finished with the main site--a really interesting LJ is involved. (The LJ is another reason I think it's a work of fiction--it's nicely done, but it's rather convenient that the girl would start the LJ right before the creepy stuff started happening, and it would end within ten entries. A real journal would be--well, it would be someone like you or me, with several months of entries, probably a good number of friends commenting, and then the weird shit starting. But that's way, way involved for someone to just create.) You'll notice that the updates page has updated regularly and it was last updated... yesterday. I have hopes that we might get another update this weekend.


ETA: I've just gotten word that it will be updated soon. Let's not say anything more about that. ;)

Oh it's definitely fiction, no question, but GOLLY it's a lot of fun, isn't it? :D It's sort of in the same veing as of Leaves... (Which, Cleo-baby, if you haven't read, I'm almost willing to ship you MY copy to get you to. It's that good.)

Yay, typos and unclosed HTML tags!

Ooo, no, I haven't heard of that one. I love this whole psychological Lovecraft/Bierce-type horror stuff, though. As opposed to the blood-spatter type, I mean.

You must read it. It is truly awesome. And best read if listening to Poe's CD, Haunted as the book is her brother's and the songs on that CD are, in many ways, inspired by the book.

It is, and really creepy. I was reading the book with the music late at night and scared myself a bit. Totally worth it, though.

I want you to know that I just went out and bought that book on your recommendation. I don't normally do that, but it sounded so good that I couldn't help myself. I'm going to curl up in the bathtub and spend the rest of my day reading it. Thanks!

Ha, absolutely! I'm glad I could offer up the suggestion, and I really don't think you'll be disappointed. :D
