Strange Houses 2

Rate this book
ADÉNTRATE EN EL MANGA DEL FENÓMENO JAPONÉS #1 EN TODO EL MUNDO.



Resuelve el escabroso misterio que encierran estas casas diseñadas para cometer crímenes.

«¿Qué demonios estamos buscando en la vieja casa... de la familia Katabuchi?». Algo extraño sucedió con la muerte del primo de una de las protagonistas de esta historia, varios años atrás. Y la investigación finalmente nos llevará hasta una habitación secreta escondida en la parte trasera de la casa... pero ¡ahí parece haber alguien con quien no contábamos!

Publicado originalmente como una novela, Strange Houses es el debut y el mayor éxito de Uketsu, con más de 2 millones de ejemplares vendidos en Japón. Fue adaptada rápidamente al manga, donde batió todos los récords de ventas, y se convirtió también en una película.

La crítica ha

«Kyo Ayano, con un estilo lúcido y sencillo, pero moderno y dinámico, nos atrapa como seguro lo hacen las palabras a solas de Uketsu con una historia que, honestamente tiene todas las de ganar. [...] No dejes de acercarte a Strange Houses».
Rolo, LH Magazin

Sobre la novela han

«El autor reordena y enreda las tramas como quien las saca de una cesta de cerezas. Por su enrevesado ingenio y los relatos que va encadenando, parece que le está tomando el pelo al lector, cuando, en realidad, trata de involucrarlo en un enfoque posmoderno del clásico "chilling mystery" macabro. [...] Una variante divertida del género de las casas embrujadas que se inicia con una conjetura que anuncia un misterio macabro mayúsculo».
Lluís Fernández, La Razón

«Distinta y absorbente, su narrativa una vez que entras en su mundo, es difícil salir. [...] Una experiencia interactiva, casi detectivesca entre la leyenda urbana y la novela clásica de crímenes».
Vicente I. Sánchez, Nueva Tribuna

«Una de mis lecturas de verano. Y es que sé que, como ya pasó con el primer título, esta será una historia en la que nada es lo que parece. Tienes que enfrentarte a ella sin saber mucho más».
Marta Romero, Hola

«Strange Houses no es una novela, ni una antología convencional, ni un libro de diseño. Es una obra difícil de clasificar, y quizás por eso resulta tan poderosa. Es literatura del disloque, arquitectura del miedo, relato esquemático que funciona como espejo negro del lugar que llamamos hogar. En una época donde el terror parece necesitar de multiversos, gore o monstruos digitales, Uketsu demuestra que basta una puerta mal situada, una habitación con proporciones erróneas, una escalera sin sentido, para devolvernos al desconcierto esencial».
Violant Muñoz i Genovés, Peregrinos y sus letras

La prensa ha dicho sobre Strange Pictures :

«Una novela inquietante donde nada es lo que parece hasta que estalla lo inesperado».
La Razón

«Uketsu ha venido a cambiar por completo las reglas del terror».

449 pages, Kindle Edition

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.

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.

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.

"The couple meticulously designed it to balance both murder and raising a hild"

The floor plans of the two houses are still examined..with guesses being made at the true purpose of some of the weird features.

Its just getting weirder and if just half of it turns out to be true.....horrific

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.

Really enjoying this series, where the mystery revolves around interpreting what the unusual architecture of a house implies.

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 !

Literally, what in Tarantino is going on!?

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.

Another House, Another Mystery.

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.
