One of the most fantastically complex books I've ever read, recursive and expansive in scope, both playing fantastically with wordplay and whitespace while remaining inside perfectly structured grammar. Though a simple horror-story is at its heart, it is layered in theme and emotion that makes it a deeply engrossing read. Would recommend to anyone who is a fan of the unusual, the obtuse, and the deeply affecting.
