Found this book in a box in a hole in a tree in the middle of the forest WHERE THE CREATURES BE. Check it out:

Burning Down The House Of Leaves (click here, moron)

So, yeah, I think this will pretty much become a secret internet-wide cult literature phenomenon. What about you guys?

Your deepest fantasy is to become a cultist leader, isn't it?

Wait, did you write this? This is...well...actually I don't know what to make of it. But I'm compelled to keep reading, despite the fact that the beginning of the book told me not to.

Alright, I've reached the end. I think I'm pretty much obligated to ask if you were high when writing this. Or was this a 3 in the morning type of thing?

Well it was original, I'll give it that. Incredibly strange, however. I feel like I should read this House of Leaves book.

Oh, but it caused me to go insane, though. That kinda sucks.

You called us "moron". My feelings are hurt. I'm not clicking.

If you really want to be sneaky, put a secret link to it on your website.

I already put a secret link to the website into the book. And I don't mean the one on Page 21, either. (DON'T TELL ANYONE YOU GUYS)

As it says in the book, I wrote this over the course of a few weeks while at work. And I'm not into drugs. The only thing I get high on... is LIFE!

Shut up, Shorty.

By the way, did I mention that I uploaded six new pages of MCT3K yesterday as well? It was a very productive day for me. Unusually so.

I meant a secret link to the book from your main TEO site.

God, I hope I could see the blatant link at the bottom of every page. I would be afraid if I couldn't.

P.S. Did you do a self-insert in there as well? Ian, Ian, Ian... I thought you above such writing devices... unless you were making a parody of that too.

Although I do commend you for the Labyrinth plug.

Don't use it all up too quickly. It's really hard to find a dealer for the stuff.

This is pretty neat!

You should totally get a job writing things somewhere someday Mr. Jay

You so BURNED Plato on page three.

EDIT: Just read some more. The text maniupulation is BRILLIANT. The singles sentence that stetched across multiple pages, the full page of AAAAAAAAAA, man. I've wanted to see stuff like this in books forever. Get published or something, dammnit!

Your writing style is very similar to that of Christopher Moore's. Coincidentally, he is your favorite author. Hm...
