Apparently House of Leaves was serialized on iunivers.com (no longer there) and
will be published on the web in total (www.houseofleaves.com) -- but no content
there either.

And the author has a singer/songwriter sister (Poe) who is supposed to be coming
out with an accompanying CD in June (www.poe.org).

And besides that, its a good book -- I'm having trouble putting it down, too!
