"The House of Asterion" is the most beautifully written thing I have ever read. https://klasrum.weebly.com/uploads/9/0/9/1/9091667/the_house...
It was lost on me at first because I had none of the background, it's now beautiful in hindsight with the context.
The last words almost make me cry everytime I read them. It's such a beautiful tale.
Holy cow, that was amazing.
I read that after seeing it was a forgotten inspiration for Piranesi: https://www.betterreading.com.au/news/author-related/susanna...
(And probably House of Leaves)
