4-5⭐️ (depending on the section)
I feel very protective over the Gray Family. These Issues mean everything to me because they are more than text - they are experiences and waking dreams and intergalactic cartwheels. Issue One: The Disappearing Boy was ✨special✨ and nothing will ever match it because that thing cracked something apart in my brain space. It was so unlike anything I’d ever read.
Issue Two: Interior Night had a lot to live up to, and let me tell you, my one brain cell worked overtime with this one. There’s so much about its structure and nuance that mirrors Issue One, but good lawd this one was so much deeper and cerebral. We still see the various sections with our Gray family playing different roles in different universes and timelines. We still see the Family play with language and genre. We still see how these people thrive on mutual destruction.
The differences here exist in the mental gymnastics you’re forced to endure in these sections. I found myself comparing them to things like Natural Born killers in Section 1. Heathers, Jawbreaker, The Craft, and Carrie (there’s even an explicitly reference to this one) in Section 2. This section, by the way, was written as an entire Shakespearean play and I loved it so much. One section reminded me of the f*cked up reimagined fairy tales in The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter. Section 4, “Strange Hours,” was so over my head that my notes while reading it were just “???” 🤣
Regardless, this Issue follows in the footsteps of its predecessor in that you can TELL it is a labor of love, creativity, pain, and chaos. The Gray Family is now my family, and I will continue to follow them into the Spiral.
Thank you forever to The Gray Family for this eARC. Go ahead and preorder this one, pub date 5/26.

“I realize I have been made wrong, complete in my exclusion from anyone else, alone on an untouched shore. My birth was a mistake, my life violent, my decisions all bent on the destruction of myself or someone else”
I came across Gray House organically, on social media.
The account itself is a weird, dark and intriguing piece of art. When I discovered it was an author collective who were soon releasing a novel, I was sat.
I thoroughly enjoyed Issue one when it released, and Issue two, for me, continues to knock it out of the park.
“You’re pathetic. You don’t know us. Me and Brad are from somewhere else; we aren’t even human. When you try hurting us, you don’t even know how.”
This book is like a very Lynchian thing put to page. It’s hard to describe and even harder to explain. A deep sadness under a desert sky. Abuses and violence. A feeling of nostalgia, like maybe I’ve been here before. Many kinds of lives lived simultaneously in liminal spaces. Both grudges and love that run very deep. I’m still unsure if I understood all or any of it, but I think I am a part of Gray House now, and I don’t think I can get out, even if I wanted to.
