Definitely House of Leaves. A story inside of a story, inside of a story, with all narrators being just a bit crazy. Text of different fonts, going all over the place and even upside down based on the story. Just make sure to get the physical copy.

Just finished this one. And honestly, it broke my brain and how I interpret other written narratives.

2nd on the physical copy. This text doesn't work otherwise.
