(just read: control, anatomy, and the legacy of a haunted house)
the "forework" on this one is a very very fun addition and made the experience of this essay totally different. big fan. very house of leaves (which is the point)(voice of guy who hasnt read HoL) obv the goal of this book is to preserve the essays should YT go down but it's proving that it can stand its ground as its own beast. i need to play anatomy.

(read: who's afraid of modern art, returnal is a hell of our own creation)
i was really obsessed with the modern art essay when i was in high school, but had forgotten a lot about the returnal one. the essay makes me want to play it sooooo bad even though id probably have a terrible time
