HDSMA house with an infinite inside?
Many years ago I read a short story by Bradbury about a house that, while looking somewhat normal on the outside, was vast and infinite inside. I can't seem to find the name of the story. It has interesting spiritual and psychological meaning, since a house in dreams is often about one's soul and self. Ray Bradbury's creative image of a house with an infinite inside is very thought-provoking. Anybody know the story?

Nard KordellMy guess:
'not' Bradbury.

tinkerbellCould this be Robert A Heinlein's "And he built a crooked house"?

philnicI had the same thought as tinkerbell (although I couldn't remember Heinlein's title). I seem to recall Heinlein's house was a tesseract or hypercube. Not exactly infinite, but extending into dimensions we cannot directly perceive.

Maybe the Winchester House, in N. California?

mr.woodworthI believe that you must be thinking of "House Of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski. However, it is not a short story, but rather a huge novel. I highly recommend it. It's brilliant. Honestly brilliant.

Braling IIWelcome aboard, Mr. Woodworth!
Please update the "So...Where Y'All From?" thread! (I believe it's under "Ray's Legacy")
