Description : Architects are nothing if not prodigious dimensioners of space. Their drawings take the unruly world and submit it to the disciplinary hand of metrology: twenty foot column bays, sixteen inches on center between studs, details specified to the millimeter. All that dimensioning serves a purpose. These carefully orchestrated measures form an inside and an outside; follow the seal of a window detail, nothing is getting past that line. Or so architects like to think. But as even the most casual of horror fans knows, such security is only ever an illusion: the more pristine your house in the suburbs, the more ghastly is its past; despite your barricades, the ghouls are smashing through the windows; and that dead body you’ve hidden beneath your floorboards will rise up to haunt your dreams.

For despite architects’ allegiance to the hard logic of lines and tape measures, there is an indimensionable aspect to space—and in the indimensionable, not all is as it seems. A door is not just a door but a creaky threshold between worlds. A corridor does more than cut into a building’s rentable space, it provides passage for who knows how many unwanted travelers. Turn the light on in your basement, the darkness is gone but not its undead inhabitants. What do you see there, lurking in the boiler room? Rulers aren’t useful for charting out the indimensionable; instead one must pay attention to gut feelings. And arm hairs. Are they standing straight? That shadowy corner may have just inexplicably become a Hellmouth, you better get out of this building quickly, its plans have changed.

This book explores these horrific spatial unknowns. It gathers together a collection of essays, interviews and drawings sourced from experts in the indimensionable: haunted house designers, ghost hunters, horror writers and those rare architectural practitioners who aren’t afraid to cast their eyes towards terrors they cannot meter. It has a page count and a table of contents. It is exactly 4.625 x 7 x .75 inches. But we can never truly dimension the horrors that will spring forth from its pages . . .

For the site these are the only two I think are helpful I am not sure if they fit the required information :

Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. Google Books is not an acceptable source. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

Archiving due to non-response. You are welcome to add a new request if you'd still like this book to be added. Don't reply to this post as once it's archived it's unlikely to be read by a librarian.
