There’s the main protagonist, Will Navidson, an award-winning photographer who moves his family to the Virginia countryside to try and mend their family life. However, there’s the human element that comes into play. Granted, there’s the supernatural element (shifting house with impossible dimensions). When it comes to the film, The Navidson Story, that’s another aspect that adds to the horror of the story. Whatever it is, the Navidson story affects Truant profoundly, in a way that ultimately leads to the deterioration of his sanity as well as his health. More so, one wonders if it isn’t his questionable mental state – his mother was committed when he was a boy, something we find out later on in the story.

As the book progresses, Truant intersperses his commentary on the story with his escapades through the LA party scene during his reading of the Navidson story. However, the story itself seems to have an unsettling effect on Truant, who is a lively member in the drug culture of the 90s’ Los Angeles drug scene. However, as previously mentioned, Truant can never find any evidence that this film, the characters, or the interviews relating to the story ever existed as far as he’s concerned the entire setup was written by a blind recluse named Zampanò. If it were to ever become a legitimate film, there would be no question that it would be a hit. Danielewski’s description of this film (which the narrator, Johnny Truant, cannot find to have ever existed) is pretty good, establishing it as a film done in the “found footage” style. This house, for some inexplicable reason, has an interior that constantly shifts and changes, exceeding it’s outer dimensions by extreme lengths. Sure, keep in mind at the basis of it all is the house in the film-within-the-story The Navidson Record. Danielewski’s House of Leaves, the horror in the novel takes on a different form or forms. The term “ghoul” is used vaguely here – it can be anything, sentient or not. There’s no issue finding out who is the human and who is the ghoul that terrorizes them. It’s easy to distinguish one thing from another in that little world, no doubt.
One of the things about horror stories is that you find yourself in a black-and-white world.
