Is this the actual Mark Z. Danielewski supporting Night Mind's challenge? If so, that's amazing

I read this in one week before in college by avoiding studying for my finals. It can be done, with the right motivation. Also, it's super absorbing and difficult to walk away from.

If I wasn't already so engrossed in 'The Monk,' I so would...it was such a great book back in my college days. I'm ecstatic my professor recommended it to me.
