The Familiar, Volume 2: Into the Forest is an American novel by writer Mark Z. Danielewski. Released on October 27, 2015, it is the second of a planned 27-volume story entitled The Familiar[1] as well as the second book of Season 1, which includes The Familiar Volumes 1–5.[2] The book serves as a continuation of nine characters' interlocking stories introduced in the first book.

Reception

Writing for NPR, Jason Sheehan described Into the Forest as "better" and "cleaner" than its predecessor: "More consistent in its chaos — its flurry of parentheticals, its screwball layout with words scattered and made into shapes, its glossy insertions of counter-textual material (pictures and illustrations, un-mated parentheses used as raindrops spattering the page)."[3]
