A Harmonious Echo
Both House of Leaves and Monstrilio, despite their different narrative manifestations, seem to resonate with your 5-star rating of Danielewski's labyrinth and your 3-star engagement with Córdova's exploration of fractured identity. The profound connection here lies in a shared exploration of "haunted spaces" – not just physical ones like the impossibly expanding house, but the psychological landscapes of characters grappling with trauma, loss, and the very nature of self, a theme you clearly found resonant enough to rate House of Leaves exceptionally highly.
