This review won't be as long as the last since I don't have as much to say. Continues everything I liked from the first volume and improves on the anthology format. I found the wraparound story to be pretty strong here if only a little long. Definitely a volume packed with reveals and new story threads, don't expect many answers if any.

While I'm still awaiting Cain's arrival, I lovedThe Caretakers. A story about Harry and Abel capturing stray Nightmares in the House. Another absolute standout was the short and sweet Gothic Romance drawn by one of my favorites Bernie Wrightson. A classic little story about a woman cursed with romances that end in monstrous circumstances. Really stunning art throughout, lovely tribute to both the Universal Classics and the later Hammer pictures.
