"House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski - Audiobook - Introduction

[@antmusic]

I secretly love all the background road noise in this recording. It actually adds to this so much. A much needed white-noise attached to an odd enigma of a complexly odd book in audiobook format.

[@andrewcondino3264]

Look at all these comments. People would loose it if you did just a little more. I've got all sorts of badges and have mastered all the listening times on audible and yet still this speaks to me the recording is fantastic please do more.

[@jarrodabel4529]

Please finish this...

[@seaspenders]

The plans are in motion. I will be getting a new computer to edit my audio on later this month. I am also bringing on extra voice actors to bring to life the sections of "video" reference. In short, I am determined to continue. Thanks for your support!

[@wafflestretch420]

Seaspenders Do you still plan on finishing?

[@michellee1190]

It is not possible to do an audiobook of this work. It's very... Visual.

Update?

please please continue recording this book!! your voice is soo perfect!!

[@candicecharles3588]

Right!? It is perfect.

[@Blightbulb]

Please keep this going. Even if it's chapter by chapter it's so good. HoL has been my favorite book for years. I haven't found anything that even remotely gives the same feeling. Your reading is damn near flawless for this book.

This sounds very good. Very professional and even the sounds in the background are great.

Thank you for this. It’s one of my favorite books, too-and you read it beautifully.

Thank you for giving me a voice to hear as a whisper as I read Johnny's contributions to the book. I'm beginning it this evening.

[@mayalynn]

The slow shift on the visual is a heck of a thing for this particular intro. Geez. As a slow reader, I would love to experience this book in audio form. Amazing work!

Good lord and baby jesus I hope you don't give up on this project. Your reading is spot on. Subscribed. Would be glad to donate if that in any way helps this keep going.

This made me go out and buy the book. I can see why you havent finished this. This book is all over the place and about 20% of it is meant to be skipped but the parts you skip are there to be seen. It's hard to explain without seeing the pages.

[@jazminz3583]

I’ve replayed this 5 times, I’m afraid to start the first chapter.

[@starwarrule]

Subscribing in case you decide to revisit this at some point. This book is one of my favorites, and seeing how you tackle the sheer challenge that is the...Formatting? Page layout? And occasionally incomprehensible scribbles? It'll certainly be worth while. And it certainly helps that you have a wonderful reading voice. Thank you.

[@seaspenders]

Thank you very much! I just finished moving to a new place and set up my recording equipment. I'm just waiting on a replacement recording absorbing panel that got damaged in the move. It is definitely going to be a challenge but I'm going to try my best.

[@notGeist]

There used to be a full audiobook recorded independently for this book on KZbin but it seems like they deleted it. It was the perfect audio book for this book. Does anyone have any back up of it? It was read rather slow so you needed to increase the speed to have a normal audio book experience, but the slow reading also helped with comprehension.

[@rjmc772]

Has anything ever come of this? @Seaspenders, can you give us official notice that there will no longer be any updates if you've stopped? At least don't let us get our hopes up.

[@seaspenders]

Hello Rj, I have not given up on this project. I do recognize that it has been quite a long time since I posted the introduction. The audio work is in progress for the full book but it is a personal project. In so being, other projects had taken precedent since last I posted. I will be continuing this project and will give proper updates soon. I appreciate your patience and look forward to providing a full audiobook for all of you.

[@rjmc772]

@@seaspenders Thanks a ton for the truthful answer. Great to hear you're still at it. You got lots of people on the waiting list who are willing to donate, keep that in mind if perhaps some funds will motivate you to increase it's priority. ;) Either way, thanks for the dedication, and eagerly looking forward to an update!

[@CMDonovann]

This is really amazing. If you ever have the time or desire to do so, I would happily buy a full audiobook from you for any amount of money, as I have been unable to finish this book on my own since the visual clutter is hard for me to follow, and I've been unable to find a proper audiobook for sale elsewhere. Your narration and voicing is really great.

I think most "HoL" fans would highly recommend you get a physical copy, because there's formatting and text/graphical stuff going on that simply CANNOT translate to an audiobook. If you don't get a physical copy, you are definitely missing out on some really great stuff. That being said, I suppose it's nice for fans who've already read it.
