–>I received a free copy of this in exchange for an honest review.<–
This one has a lot of absurd, over-the-top, and silly stories compared to the first volume. Oh, there are still a lot of things written in here seemingly just for the shock value but nowhere near as bad as before, thankfully.
I Am Meat I Am in Daycare, Free to Good Home, Alien Fajitas, and The Losers vs Beelphegor are most of the weird, and/or comedy-horror stories that made the collection fun. Those were my favorites, or maybe I just needed them after enduring the first volume.
There are still plenty of straight-up horror stories in here though so don't worry. Trapped Light Medium was the stand out of those. It managed to do all the gore and make a great story out of it.
Unfortunately for me, the two stories I liked the least were back to back in order... Drawn and Meat-Boy. Drawn just has the dumbest ending and Meat-Boy well... I try my hardest not to dump on stories I don't like but, Meat-Boy was honestly one of the worst stories I've ever read. What the heck was that?
It ends on a Lovecraftian story from out of nowhere, and while it wasn't very original it was well-written and enjoyable.
I found it to be a good collection and a clear step up from the first volume.
