I heard about this book on a YouTube video. It sounded like House of Leaves, Horror Movie (Tremblay) or Night Film. A mysterious shrouded filmmaker staying one step ahead of being understood. The atmosphere of the book was suffocating and mildewy but the plot wore kind of thin for me. Maybe I just didn't get it. I'd like to read some other reviews or insights about it. It was spooky but in a half finished way. I think if you enjoyed any of the aforementioned titles, you'd like this.

After reading some other reviews, I'm relieved to see others citing its opaqueness and meandering plot, but echoing the success of the atmosphere it created. Read it for the vibes, not for the plot.
