![]() I'm giving this four stars because despite everything I just said, this book was exactly what I wanted. That should cover the cost of the photos. After all, I believe I paid more than 75 cents for this book. Since this came up nearly every story, it would've been a nice touch to include those photos in this volume. The other thing was the constant end-of-story sales pitch to send away for real photographs of the "ghoulunatics". That may have been a problem in the first volume, but I never noticed. One thing was the incessant use of exclamation points. Every story is exactly that.Ī few things really irked me. The plots are "Tales from the Crypt Standard Issue": innocent person killed by bad guy supernatural force extracts justice and destroys bad guy. I went in looking for old-school vibes and classic riffs from the dawn of horror comics. Of course, I didn't go into this expecting great horror stories. It's like having that third jelly doughnut: still good but definitely crossing the line into over-indulgence. The stories start out strong, but lose their kick over the course of the volume. This was a fun read, though maybe not as fun as the first volume. ![]()
