House Of Leaves Audiobook Novels & Stories

LEAH'S POV The Uber pulls up to the address and I am out of the car before it fully stops. The house is dark and abandoned with broken windows all around and overgrown grass. My heart is pounding so loud I can hear it in my ears. I reach the front door and find it unlocked. I push it open and step inside. "Sophie?" I call out quietly. "Mom?" No answer. I walk through the dark hallway. The living room is empty.. I am about to turn back when I hear voices coming from the back of the house.

She turned and stepped back into the house. “Well,” she said over her shoulder. “Come inside before the Alpha starts growling.” Cassian did not deny the accusation. Inside, the house smelled strongly of herbs and smoke. Books filled nearly every wall. Old ones. Some bound in leather darker than Ava had ever seen. Others made of strange materials that looked more like bark than paper. Leana cleared a wide wooden table with a quick sweep of her hand. “Let’s see it.” Ava carefully placed the book in front of her.

(See: my emotional decisions since 2019. “Do not make me comfortable,” I warned him. “That’s emotional manipulation.” --- Above us, Varyn House groaned—a deep, ancient sound, like the building was embarrassed for me. Somewhere a pipe sighed; somewhere else, a rafter cracked its knuckles in judgment. “Exactly,” I told the ceiling. “You get it.” The flashlight had rolled onto the floor, its beam angled up through drifting dust. Tiny motes swirled in the light, gold against the dark—like the air itself was watching.

Hyden’s eyes flicked toward the back door, and my stomach tightened—danger doesn’t always walk on two legs. “Books,” I said. “One each.” “Two,” Lily bargained. “One.” We read under the hall lamp, its glow pooling over their blankets. When the last page turned, I smoothed my hair and left the door almost—almost—closed. The house fell into that kind of quiet where you can hear your own pulse. Locks: checked. Front. Side. Windows. Finally the back door—the one opening to the yard and the trees beyond. I pressed my palm to it, felt the storm breathe through the seam.

Sitting in the dim light of my apartment, I heard the distinctive sound of a door closing from across the hall. A sinister smile crept over my face. Clay was leaving. I slid the glass door to my balcony open and peered down to see his black car pull out of the parking garage, heading north. He's going home, I thought, how convenient. I returned inside, my fingers itching to pry open the book that lay on my coffee table. It wasn't any ordinary book—it was an old folklore tome filled with rituals, spells, and hidden amidst cryptic language, and dark magic.

They headed to the isolated room leading to the washroom. As they turn left and got closer to the area, they heard an ear-splitting voice accompanied by the deep growling sound of a beast. Audrey: LISTEEEEEENNN!!!... I am alone at the crossroad... I am alone in my own world!!! And I try and try! Nero: Yeah Audrey: To say what's on my mind! Nero: yeah, break it down! yow!

Started to melt, flowing up the Auditors arm like oil. CRACK. The white gold book broke in half. The pages did not fall. They turned into a cloud of dots that got sucked into my right eye and deleted. The Auditor stumbled back its coat falling apart the numbers on its fabric turning into nonsense. "The thing we were looking at... Is gone " the Auditor whispered, its line fading away. "The Bank... Says this place is a loss." With a sound the Auditor turned into a pile of harmless silver dust that covered the floor like frost.

Plus the fact that they rarely turn on the lights so he didn’t really have the chance to saw the paintings that are hanging in the wall. Blaine… Come here… Go inside Blaine… He heard some voices again but Blaine ignored them thinking that it’s just his imagination playing with him. He immediately walk towards the kitchen until he passed by a strange room bound with a chain and several padlocks. Blaine… Go inside Blaine… Go inside…. Again. But this time the voices seems louder, as if they are just right there behind these doors. He didn’t know but his body moves on its own and was about to hold the touch the chain when someone spoke from behind

About secrets the house kept like a loyal servant. The mansion creaked, soft and slow. I froze. My head snapped toward the hallway. Silence. No footsteps. No voices. Just the storm and the clock and that awful sense that I wasn’t alone in my own breathing. I listened harder. Nothing. Still, I lowered my voice instinctively, as if the walls could hear thoughts. “This is insane,” I murmured. And yet I kept reading. Because the pages were doing something to me. They weren’t just telling me Katherine’s story.

The word tastes like ash. Someone cut the alarms. Someone disabled the sensors. Someone opened the door. Aurelio thought the threat was external. He thought we were fighting a siege. But the rot is inside the walls. I scramble off the chaise, my hands shaking as I reach for the console. There is an audio button. I jam my finger against it. Static. Then, the sounds of the night filter in. The wind. The ocean. And footsteps. Dozens of them. Crunching on the gravel of the driveway. Soft, rhythmic thuds on the manicured lawn.
