Hi Maya,
For literature have a look The Poetics of Space, by Gaston Bachelard.
(first published 1958) Translated by Maria Jolas. New York: Orion
Press, 1964; Boston: Beacon Press, 1994.
A film that is somewhat out of the "horror-genre" but has an
interesting "alive" house is Caro et Jeunet's _Delicatessen_ (1991).
