Check out Haunted by Poe. It's a companion piece and its mood and lyrics provide a ton of insight. I listened to it a ton of times while reading my second time and it made for a more pleasurable experience (and is probably the closest thing we'll ever get to an audio book).
Edit: AND DON'T STOP. It's tempting...there are parts that are purposefully dry as hell, but keep pushing through them because the rewards happen and happen in ways that I have yet to find in any other book.
If you want to break your mind into tiny, little, mostly mad pieces, I recommend pairing House of Leaves with Haunted.
The author and musician, respectively, are brother and sister. Both projects stemmed out of dealing with the death of their father.
