a dude and their house
books/series where at least part of the plot is about a dude (gender neutral & for the vibes 🙂↕️) and their weird attachment to a house (please note attachment to said house may not be fully explored until later books)

Lolll Piranesi is such a good fit for this

I added Piranesi, I've been meaning to read that actually 😍 I'll look into Mexican Gothic more
Omg Piranesi is THE dude & house book that's such a phenomenal rec for this
Mexican Gothic might fit if you squint? I wouldn't say there is an attachment to the house but the house is a major part of it.
yeah, it's been a hot minute since i read mexican gothic so i wasn't totally sure about that one 😅
He he he, this is such a great list! I've read nearly all of them already!❤ What about House of Leaves, as an edition?
incredible 🙂↕️
The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher is a great one to add if you haven't read that yet! (And one of my favs by them!)
when a dude loves their house a little too much 🤨
This is the first list I’ve stumbled across that I have 100% overlap with, how fun
