Segment: Interview -  M.R. Carey and artist Peter Gross to talk about their upcoming Hill House Comics title, THE DOLLHOUSE FAMILY #1. 

Questions: 

1. There’s a rich tapestry of story and character as soon as you open the book. What is your process like creating this world of characters?
2. There’s a layering of the story here, from the cutting between time to the dollhouse itself, what went into building this world, where do you start?
3. Is there a lot of detail the reader will never see that helps you create? 
4. Peter, the different periods of time require you to draw very different clothing among other things. Is there any approach you take to differentiate the periods?
5. If you don’t mind my asking, what prompted you to address domestic abuse in this story?
6. Can you talk a bit about your workspaces?
7. There seems to be a source of ancient and maybe even alien evil at work here. I can’t help but think of the monster It, and its origin, is there any connection there?
8. Joe Hill was on the show 2 weeks ago and described The Dollhouse Family as “intelligent British horror” and said it was specifically like a kind of horror film from the early 70s that is scary but intelligently written like the Wicker Man. Would you liken it to Wicker Man, or any other horror be it movie or novel?
