Tom's Crossing/The Familiar Question

Alright, this might be a stupid question but I've been thinking about it for a while today and thought I would get a discussion going.

I've read House of Leaves, and have been following Danielewski's youtube channel chronicling Tom's Crossing every once in a while. I didn't wanna read The Familiar, cuz I knew I would be disappointed once I was caught up and had to come to terms with the fact that it wasn't gonna be finished, but I found it for really cheap at a thrift store today and bought it.

I opened the book and saw that Tom's Crossing is something that appears in the first section of the novel, meaning there's some sort of connection(?)

If this is true, does this mean that Tom's Crossing is a spin-off of The Familiar? Is there reason to believe that this might mean The Familiar isn't cancelled anymore, or is that just wishful thinking?

I know the main reason it got cancelled was because publisher's didn't think the cost of printing the books was worth it considering the relatively low readership. But that was in 2017. I feel like in the last 4 years or so, Danielewski has gone from pretty obscure outside of really specific circles to almost a household name (at least House of Leaves is, I know more people that know the book than people who don't). Is this new novel being called Tom's Crossing potentially evidence that Danielewski is considering picking the familiar back up? Idk if there's more information about this readily available, so I might be super wrong. Lmk lmk
