Ugh. I should love everything about this. But just like the first one, it doesn't do it for me. It's overly descreptive, which kills the pace for me. Add lots of characters to that, and eventually you lose who is who. At times, I even find the writing pretentious with all the meta slasher stuff. Somewhere it's mentioned that simple slashers are the best ones, and I wished Stephen Graham Jones took his own meta to heart.
