I am also going to call out House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. It's a really interesting book that explores a house that is slightly larger on the inside than the outside. It explores a lot of liminal spaces and has a really interesting format in print.

  Haven't played that yet though I heard it really helps if you are fan of the series and read the books as the game will make more sense that way.

Interestingly, this video analysis of Control (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VII76R36GWw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VII76R36GWw) claims Remedy was inspired by House of Leaves, and notes the similarity between "Ash Tree Lane" where the House of Leaves is set, and the "Ash Tray Maze" in Control. Just seeing a few images of the book's pages in this video, yeah it seems like a really interesting book that plays with the novel format directly.

Pair that with Poe's album Haunted https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haunted_%28Poe_album%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haunted_%28Poe_album%29 > Haunted is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Poe, released in 2000 after a five-year hiatus from her debut album Hello in 1995. The self-produced album was created as a tribute to her father, and counterpart to her brother Mark Z. Danielewski's novel House of Leaves. That book is definitely something you have to see in print.

The book itself is highly influenced by Borges

  Gregor Schneider made a super creepy house, called House Ur, it is a mega unsettling art piece. There are some videos on it but cant find them at the moment. Super creepy guy and super creepy layers in a house.
