Excerpt from Fallen Leaves A Prayer (Written on my Twenty-first Birthday) Dear Father, who with guidance firm My childish footsteps stayed, Who fed my youth's unfolding mind, Now give my manhood aid. Those years are past, and by man's law In man's estate I stand; Help me to use man's highest strength, To lend the weak a hand. Give unto others worldly fame, Me an unselfish heart, Strong to sustain, tender to love, Give me the Christ-like part. Help me to do the things I should, Free from Temptation's ban; Help me to be God's noblest work, An honest Christian man. Amen.

Excerpt from When Leaves Were Green, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel Eleven o'clock on a bright June morning. A stretch of wood on the northern slopes of the South Downs, and Glyn Beverley sketching in the midst of the wild-roses, honeysuckles, and dappled foxgloves of early summer. A lovely spot whereon to set up an easel. A grassy knoll, bright with flowers. A wealth of leafage on three sides. On the fourth, through a gap in the foliage, a glorious view of the Downs, fading away into the blue of infinite distance.

“A novelistic mosaic that simultaneously reads like a thriller and like a strange, dreamlike excursion into the subconscious.” —The New York Times Years ago, when House of Leaves was first being passed around, it was nothing more than a badly bundled heap of paper, parts of which would occasionally surface on the Internet. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story would soon command. Starting with an odd assortment of marginalized youth -- musicians, tattoo artists, programmers, strippers, environmentalists, and adrenaline junkies -- the book eventually made its way into the hands of older generations, who not only found themselves in those strangely arranged pages but also discovered a way back into the lives of their estranged children. Now this astonishing novel is made available in book form, complete with the original colored words, vertical footnotes, and second and third appendices. The story remains unchanged, focusing on a young family that moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story -- of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.
