EN I’m still amazed by the ability to craft such an engaging plot around the mysteries of a house. In fact, it’s no longer just one, but two.
It’s an in-depth exploration of the reasons behind the way the houses were built, with a family at the centre whose motivations remain unknown.
I’m really enjoying this thriller. Highly recommended for fans of horror and lighter thrillers.

PT Continuo a achar fabulosa a capacidade de criar um enredo envolvente em torno dos mistérios de uma casa. Na verdade, já não é apenas uma, mas sim duas.
Trata-se de uma análise exaustiva às razões que levaram à construção das casas da forma como foram concebidas, tendo no centro uma família cujas motivações permanecem desconhecidas.
Estou a adorar este thriller. Recomendo vivamente a quem aprecia histórias de terror e thrillers mais leves.
Strange Houses Vol. 2 is peak “slow-burn horror but make it a brain teaser.” Creepy floor plans, weird family secrets, and that subtle dread that follows you around like a stray cat. Yeah, the plot gets a little messy and dialogue-heavy, but the mystery?? So addictive. A fun, unsettling, architecturally cursed read. 4 stars — chaotic but elite.
Un deuxième tome que j’ai beaucoup apprécié le mystère s’épaissit mais j’aime toujours autant. Par contre je suis frustrée par cette fin il me faut le tome 3.
Really interested in how this series turns out. I wish it was something I could sit down and read at once. Alas I have to wait for the next book to be released.
Je me suis jetée sur le deuxième tome de l'adaptation du thriller éponyme, et j'aime toujours autant cette série pleine de suspense ! Je trouve ça fascinant d'avoir créé toute une intrigue basée sur des plans architecturaux, c'est mystérieux, avec une légère pointe d'horreur, bref j'adore. Vivement la suite !
First of all, the overreaching that these people do to make something sinister out of a nothing burger is wild. Then this other random person shows up and is like "I know a thing. Let me help. But oh, by the way, I lied to you about who I was." And now they're just like :oh yeah, my sister went missing when I was a kid. Just over night. All of her stuff disappeared, that wad weird."
And now it's like.... is the sister involved in this? What in the heck is happening?
This is still holding my attention, kind of, but it's also starting to get very frustrating. I'll have to see what happens in the next one.
At least the art is really cool, even if the story is weird.

This one is good, and I like where its going... I keep wondering if all the info given is legit or if they give certain ideas to spin us the wrong way.
In the second volume..things go even deeper. It seems we have barely scratched the surface. the book was better than the first one. The pace picks up, and the story develops nicely. Incidentally, Strange House was Uketsu's first book, but translated later in English. This shows, as this seems less polished than Strange Pictures. Nevertheless, it keeps you engaged. A real page-turner.
Sviluppo delle indagini decisamente accattivante. La Signora Miyae non la contava giusta fin dal primo volume e ora, come volevasi dimostrare, ha gettato la maschera rivelando chi è davvero. Ma sarà attendibile questa nuova verità? Comunque, pure Kurihara mi inquieta un po' con tutte le sue terrificanti congetture.
Im zweiten Teil dreht sich die Geschichte weniger um das, wofür die Häuser benutzt worden sein könnten, sondern mehr um die Hintergrundgeschichte der Familie. Dabei gibt vor allem Yuzuki viele hilfreiche Anhaltspunkte.
