You may already be familiar with House of Leaves. If you are, then you should have a pretty good idea of whether you'll like this video. I think it adapts the content and themes well for 2026 and examines the subject matter critically. I'm glad to have thoughtful essays like this to watch when it can feel like everything's gone to pisces.
If you aren't familiar with the source material, and you don't mind heavy spoilers, I think this may be an excellent introduction.

Will make it a point to set aside time to watch this. House of Leaves is easily one of if not my favorite fiction work. When the first time I read it, I was just so captivated by it that I read it non-stop over 2 days and I remember forgetting to eat during that time. Recall finishing it and wondering why the hell I was so hungry.

Im a Pisces… like a real true Pisces in the way where I have multiple planets in my birth sign like I’m hoarding. I’m a simple guy with a modest home. I definitely didn’t get everything in the mail or dropped off recently, but I did happen to move myself out of a fairly toxic situation two years ago and turned my life around for the better. If that’s what you mean by “everything” then hey, I accept, but I don’t think we should be to blame for it.
I love House of Leaves. It fueled a band I was in to write some pretty amazing music. I got to meet Mark Z. Danielewski at a book signing at Powell’s in PDX. I asked him if he figures out his writing forms/typographical style before he gets to the page, or just manipulated the text into art after he writes it. This was a while ago, when he released “Only Revolutions, “ so my memory isn’t that great, but he said, “You Pisces are all the same, always wanting, greedy needing everything, huh, aren’t you?”
Spoiler pieces-> pisces is a typo that recurs in HoL. The pieces/pisces 'mistake' occurs verbally in this video as well. The astrological grudge runs deep with the man!

Having never heard of House of Leaves before, is the premise that the book is about a lost documentary and this video is supposed to be that documentary?

The book is about a "lost" documentary that never existed. It is pseudo-academic in tone, with multiple unreliable narratives woven together in meandering, often bizarrely-laid-out footnotes. This...

Debut novel. Damn. What am I doing with my life? :P
If it makes you feel better, a lot of "debut" book releases aren't the author's first written book, just the first published.
This was a fantastic watch. Sagan has come a long way from his backrooms days. Left me understanding the book in a different light, in a good way.
