    I’m working my way through House of Leaves right now, and the real horror is the grad school flashbacks from trying to follow the footnotes.

      Jonathan Strange and Mister Norrell by Susanna Clarke is pretty fantastic/terrible about that. The footnotes are often entire short stories and span many pages.
