![]() ![]() At points, the academic tone of the first collection is still present, but it's not as lively, as interesting.Īlso frustrating are the author bios that follow each commentary, which make it seem the reader shouldn't be focusing on the books themselves, but the authors' own resumes. This volume contains a more 'web best-of list' approach as some commentaries read like general synopses, dry and formal, while others prattle and rarely touch upon what makes their selection such a great read. This sequel tries to recreate the same, but the selections don't have the overall juice as the list meanders towards the mundane. The first version was an inspired compilation where writers picked out one of their favorite horror books, and waxed the passionate on what made the book leave such an impression. ![]() An inferior follow-up to the first installment published back in 1991. ![]()
