1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

Let's get some Nightmare Fuel up in this here joint. :grabs House of Leaves, which is sitting on the table next to her:

Soon enough, he is stalking doorways, leading the dancing moon of Jed's flashlight with the barrel of his rifle, and always listening. Corners, however, only reveal more corners, and Jed's like only targets ashen walls, though soon enough they all begin to detect that inimitable growl,¹⁵⁵ like calving glaciers, far off in the distance, which at least in the mind's eye, inhabits a thin line where rooms and passageways must finally concede to become a horizon.

"The growl almost always comes like the rustle of a high mountain wind in the trees," Navidson explained later. "You hear it first in the distance, a gentle rumble, slowly growing louder as it descends, until finally it's all around you, sweeping over you, and then past you, until it's gone, a mile away, impossible to follow."¹⁵⁶

I've yet to actually read this book. I pick it up every few hours, flip to a random page, and read until I feel like I can hear the ~~Minotaur~~ over my shoulder.

Still playing MGS2. Getting Emma past the L Strut now. So, she's gonna die soon and then I get to go, "Holy shit, Hal, you need therapy," a lot. Because really, the Emmerich-Danzingers? Have got subscriptions of issues.
