Hi,

I have a patron looking for a book she read in the past. It has the word
"House" in the title. The book is about a house that seems normal at
first. Then new rooms start appearing in the house. It is told in the
first person and the narrator starts going mad. Toward the end of the
book,the words on the page start going around in circles or there will be
just one word on the page. Sound familiar?

Thanks in advance,

This sounds like House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski. It includes letters,
newspaper clippings, etc. I thought it was great fun! Good and scary.
