More cool stories in this anthology collection. It earns a 4 out of 5 because I think the bottom tier stories are truly bad, so it drags the total product down just a wee bit. The strength of the majority of the tales makes it an absolutely fun read, though. I look forward to more.

I liked this volume almost as much as volume one.

These are great horror stories in the tradition of EC comics, but rather than an anthology each story is one full issue. They range from the retelling of famous stories such as The Monkey's Paw and Pickman's Model to new twists on urban legends to totally original tales. The art is sexy (as any art from Zenescope seems to be) and fits the stories well.

Overall a great horror comic in the old school tradition and something most horror comic fans would enjoy.

Good classic horror comic fun, with tales from Poe, Lovecraft, and Robert Louis Stevenson. A fun series! Also, Death is hot.

Tenía ganas de leer este volumen, pues el #1 me encantó, y del #3 tengo buenos recuerdos.
En esta ocasión, son 13 historias nuevas

Jekyll & Haydee ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
El barril de Amontillado ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cáete muerta, hermosa ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Insomnio ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
La cinta de video ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gato negro ⭐️⭐️⭐️
El maletín asesino ⭐️⭐️
La pata de mono ⭐️
El coco ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
La mansión encantada ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Autopista fantasma ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
La aplicación ⭐️⭐️⭐️
La muestra de Pickford ⭐️⭐️


Algunas, como la pata del mono y el maletín asesino no tienen ningún sentido, siendo sus Plot twist muy malos, sin embargo es un gran volumen en general.
Mis historias favoritas son Jekyll y Haydee, El barril de Amontillado, Cáete muerta, hermosa y autopista fantasma. Ya quiero leer el volumen 4.

Absolutely LOVE these Grimm Tales of Terror Stories!!

The Jekyll and Hyde one, so good!!! I wonder what would have happened if the guy had gotten away with it at the end.

DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS: that one is also amazing!! I had no idea who it was.

BLACK CAT: Another amazing story. Great twist at the end.

THE VIDEOTAPE: Another great story.

THE APP: Whoa, what an AWESOME story!! I kinda wanted a sequel to see how the "new" app was going to lure in other young people.

Some good stuff here, and everything is nicely drawn. It’s a shame that they rely so much on trying to subvert urban legend tropes, as the others tend to be better stories, and it’s a bit cheeky not to credit H. P. Lovecraft for at least inspiration on the final story ("Pickford's Model"), but overall it’s an enjoyable collection.

Lets stick with the review from volume 1 as it still applies:

Mostly familiar territory with a scattered few surprises, each perfectly executed. At least one will get under your skin and refuse to leave when it's dark..

Definitely worth the read. I got shivers of both delight and fear.

Great series of pulpy one and done stories. Some of course were better than others, the sleep institute issue #4 & the bogeyman #9 being the most notable. Glad I took the time to read these.
