The wording in these chapters drove me absolutely crazy. I don't understand why some of the text is upside down and sideways because I feel as if its more of a pain to read and doesn't really have the effect the author intended. Navidson's obsession is even more relevant than ever in these chapters. He goes as far as to say he cannot live without finding out what is inside the house. I find it amazing how much Navidson and Karen truly care for eachother. Its amazing to me that with everything they've been through they still stand by eachother. Once again the male characters venture back into the house to try and solve the mystery of whats inside it. I feel that if they continue to this eventually no one will make it out alive. Johnny's problems are once again extremely visible in these chapters as he becomes more and more engrossed in Zampano's work. I find that Navidson and Johnny Traunt are very similar. Both men are having trouble controlling their obsessions and keeping their sanity. He too will eventually drive himself too death if he doesn't learn to control his obsessions?
1) Will everyone eventually fall victim to hallway?
2) Should Karen still support Navidson?
3) Has Navidson taken his obsession too far?

In the beginning of the novel, I thought Karen was not being supportive enough of Will's overwhelming passion. However, when situations within the house became deadly, I moreso sided with her. By the end, I think Karen was able to outlet some of her pain into art-film medium similar to him and this allowed her to understand him better. Thus I think her support of Will was something that had to progress and develop through its own way.
