Can there even be spoilers at this rate? I mean I'm assuming you haven't picked up volume 3 without reading the first 2 already. Hill continues to flesh out his characters and imbue them with a depth not normally found in easy horror. Sam Lesser in death regains some agency and we better understand how tortured he is. He's more than just a cardboard cut-out, stock evil character. Kinsey, Kavanaugh, Jamal and Jackie's segment is handled beautifully, sets up the caves, and lends depth to the friendship. Keys are lost and found and finally we see some cracks in the family dynamic.
