antkneeomonster's review against another edition
3.0
While the original was an engaging bit of Lovecraft by way of Stuart Gordon-esque 1980s excess (think Re-Animator or From Beyond) the sequel feels like a straight-to-video sequel by a lesser director who didn't quite *get* the original.
The characters are broader, the plot less engaging and while the ending is certainly less abrupt, it's also not particularly satisfying.
McNaughton is an intriguing writer, and I'll defo check out some of his collections, but this didn't quite capture the cult charms of its predecessor.

This book sucked ass. There was so many grammar mistakes there was spelling, spacing, and just poor grammar. It's like no one took the time to edit the book, it's like they just went "Oh look someone wrote a book lets just print it and not check for errors.". The only thing about the book I liked was the fact that the good guy lost. You don't see that very often in book it's usually the good guy that wins but in this book he lost to the villain and that was a refreshing change,but other then that nothing exciting stuck out for me.
The book follows a struggling author to his next book in hopes of making it big. On that note I would like to apologize to Brian for not liking his book. I understand that you and all the other authors out there struggle, work hard, and spend hours and hours writing your books and that deduction and hard work is appreciated to bring the reader something to read but sometimes it's just not that good. I'm sorry.
