The Nightmare Society: Volume 2

by Jake Tri (Editor/Contributor), Andy Sciazko (Illustrator), David Romero (Illustrator)

A collection of 20 stories from a multitude of writers and artists, all extremely well versed in the art of horror. Like Volume 1, The Nightmare Society: Volume 2 is intended for a more mature audience and is a bit darker than our Nightmare Soup series. Each story was selected for its merits in terror, and is accompanied by a nightmarish illustration from artists like Andy Sciazko and David Romero.

A collection like this is great because it introduces the reader to a variety of writing styles and perspectives, in addition to different types of art.

Volume 2 did a better job at horror story telling than volume 1 did for me. As I had stated in my review of Volume 1, I'm not much for enjoying creature horror, but the few stories that did do the evil creature trope actually weren't bad at all.

Feel free to giggle like a demon possessed school girl here, but I honestly felt the best story was the last one. While I did expect the ending to turn the way it did, it still managed to give me Goosebumps and now idk if I'll be able to sleep tonight.

As I have also said, I can't properly give a story collection a full five stars, but this one was better than the first.

And I still hate werewolves.

I loved number 2 more than number 1. I found that some of these tales were very creepy and had me tense. Hoping number 3 is just as good!
