Sequels terrify me. I'm always worried that they won't be as good as the first book. I want the magic to keep going but it seldom seems to. Dead Voices takes that fear and buries it instantly. Everything I liked about Small Spaces, from the genuinely enjoyable protagonists to the unabashed creepiness of the monsters, is right here in Dead Voices. As someone who grew up both on Scooby-Doo and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Dead Voices crosses those wires in a way I didn't know I wanted.
