I didn't enjoy this as much as Welcome to Lovecraft - it felt as if there was far less focus on the Locke family, which was what I found really appealing in the first place. I have zero interest in Luke/Zack, who is neither compelling nor sufficiently creepy. The more he oozes around, the less I care to see him on the page. The head key doesn't do it for me either, as I can't take it particularly seriously. The visuals remain excellent, however, and for a horror it is mildly disturbing. On balance, though, while I feel like I'd read the first volume in the series over again, this one doesn't rise above the average for me.
