House of Leaves: The Remastered, Full-Color Edition

Product Information

It is a huge book and with that I would go for the paperback (less weight when turning book around).

The novel went on to win the New York Public Library's Young Lions Fiction Award [3] and gain a considerable cult following. Discover the nightmarish tale of a house that is bigger on the inside than the outside that still inspires devotion among an army of fans. But Danielewski has done something different: He has remade the haunted house story into a metaphor for dread itself: its smothering darkness, its infinite expansion, the way it takes hold within us, where we think we are most at home. Try as he might, though, Truant can find no record that the film ever existed, but the unaccountable fear begins to haunt him too.

I got to the part with the passage from the POE album- the remix of "Hey Pretty", track 18, on pages 88-89. How does the consumptive femininity of the house relate to Truant’s (and Navidson’s) dysfunctional relations with the opposite sex?
