I grew up obsessed with the internet, and with that obsession came an absolute adoration for online short stories - particularly
creepypasta.
I used to spend hours and hours on r/nosleep and creepypasta forums, and I genuinely enjoyed the first Creepypasta Collection volume, so when I saw the second volume, I purchased a copy immediately and started reading it almost as soon as it arrived.
Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the first volume, but the first thing I realized was that, unlike the first collection, these stories were mostly new to me! Thus, I decided to compile an anthology review for anyone who's interested in picking up a copy of this one.
→ Your Secret Admirer - CreepsMcPasta ★☆☆☆☆ ←
The collection opens with a second-person narrative detailing a stalker's letter to his victim as he attacks the bullies plaguing them. The idea was okay, but nothing particular new and I thought the technical aspect of the writing needed work.
→ Bubbles - Max Lobdell ★★☆☆☆ ←
A man receiving treatment for a minor injury hides out in a hospital treatment room while alien abductions occur around him, leaving some very gross and bizarre physical manifestations on the abductees. The story was a bit gross, but that was the extent of the emotive connection it got out of me.
→ Marsh Baywood Shirts - TalesOfTim ★☆☆☆☆ ←
A child explores the marsh behind his home to find it decorated by the dress shirts of local men who have gone missing. Another story that could have had a good idea behind it, but left a lot to be desired in execution.
→ For Love and Hot Chocolate - K. Banning Kellum ★★★★☆ ←
When a man's comatose wife shows signs of never waking, he is offered a devil's deal of sorts: if he can pass a bizarre set of trials, he can earn her health, but if he fails, he forfeits his soul. The storytelling in this entry was fair, and the tale itself was intriguing enough to keep my interest right to the very end.
→ The Crawlspace - Madame Macabre ★★★★★ ←
A college student studies abroad and rents an apartment with a price that is way too good to be true. This was one of my favorite stories in the collection. As someone who is naturally incredibly wary of staying in buildings I'm unfamiliar with, I was thoroughly creeped out by the idea of someone or something hiding in the crawlspace of this spooky little apartment.
→ That Thing Up There - WellHeyProductions ★★★★☆ ←
I can't say much about this incredibly short story without spoiling it, but it was remarkably cute for the collection, and I really enjoyed it.
→ Proxy - Aaron Shotwell ★★★★☆ ←
When a senior suffers from a stroke, his daughter opts for nano-bite medical treatment for him. The nano-bites begin to communicate with him inside his mind, but it becomes remarkably sinister very quickly. With the constant advancements of robotic medical technology, there was something surprisingly unsettling about the idea behind this story, though I felt that the ending went off-mark a little bit.
→ I Suffer From Short-Term Memory Loss - Jagger Rosenfeld ★★★★★ ←
We follow a young man who feels that he may be suffering from short-term memory loss, as he is suddenly losing peculiar items as well as specific memories. This one was a bit psychological in nature with an unreliable narrator, and I thoroughly enjoyed how suspenseful it was. I thought I guessed the ending early on, but my guess was wrong and I was pleasantly surprised by how dark it was.
→ The Puppeteer - BleedingHeartworks ★★☆☆☆ ←
A lonely college student receives an odd box from their family member, but disregards it as feelings of homesickness and depression consumes their life. This one had potential as a strong metaphor, but there were too many unnecessary details (like the attempt at a suspenseful build-up regarding the box), and the ending was very overstated. When writing metaphors, it's important to have faith in your storytelling ability, as well as your reader's capability for understanding your intent.
→ Hobo Heart-Stitches - Chris OZ Fulton ★☆☆☆☆ ←
A high school girl meets an odd boy with a skull for a face, and... beyond that, I don't really know what to say about the plot? I found it incredibly confusing and all over the place, and didn't enjoy the writing at all, sadly.
→ Craters in Her Face - Madame Macabre ★★★★★ ←
A woman inherits her art-loving grandmother's oil painting collection after she passes, but one painting has a particularly dark past that doesn't seem to be over just yet. I didn't pay attention to the authors while reading the stories, so while compiling this review, I was pleasantly surprised to notice that my two favorite stories were both by Madame Macabre. I absolutely adored this one - easily the best in the anthology. It is creepy, and gruesome, and suspenseful, and morbid, in all the best ways.
→ If Only They Were Cannibals - Jaime Townsend ★★☆☆☆ ←
A particularly unique take on zombies, in which the undead aren't brain-eating cannibals, but are vicious, rabid rapists. I thought the plot was unusual and quite unsettling, but the writing and ending were a little anticlimactic.
→ Tunnel 72F - Michael Whitehouse ★★★★★ ←
The narrator tells a story of an old friend who, despite having lived his life unafraid of anything, has finally met his match in the tunnels under an Amsterdam museum. I loved the WWII historical tidbits thrown into the story, though I would have really enjoyed seeing this plot fleshed out a bit more. I wish it had been one of the longer stories in the collection, as the writing was really lovely.
→ Bats in Winter - Isaac Boissonneau ★★★★☆ ←
With a spin on vampires, this story portrays a reality in which vampirism is something like a contagious disease. It was sad, dark, and definitely a fresh take on an old classic.
→ I Was Invited to a Sleepover - M.J. Orz ★★★★☆ ←
The main character thinks it was hard enough to find his best friend's brother murdered at a sleepover, but the nightmare is far from over when his childhood demons return to finish what they started. I thought this was going to have a very formulaic creepypasta sort of ending, so I was surprised by the twist. All in all, it was a creepy and suspenseful tale!
→ I Couldn't Afford a Tattoo, So I Found Someone Who Would Do it For Free - Leonard Petracci ★☆☆☆☆ ←
Being broke, reluctant to ask for help, and refusing to miss out on being "part of the gang", a young man accepts a free tattoo from a stranger. I honestly struggled so much with this story in part because the main character made such unbelievably bad decisions, as well as the fact that I found the ending rather lackluster.
→ The Strangest Case of Dr. Henry Montague - The Right Hand of Doom ★☆☆☆☆ ←
A mad scientist has created a portal that should take him anywhere in the world, but instead, keeps routing itself back to Hell. I was horribly bored throughout the entirety of this story and found it very empty and pointless in the end.
→ The Beast of Battered Grove - Christopher Maxim ★☆☆☆☆ ←
A young woman stumbles across a beast in the forest by her home, and gets sucked into a fantastical and bizarre plot of occultists. During the events that are actually happening to the main character, she reads a dark fantasy novel, which we are frequently treated to multiple pages of action and dialogue from. I genuinely believe this story was, first and foremost, an excuse to write two genres in one short story (horror and dark fantasy); sadly, neither of the "sides" of this one worked for me. I had a hard time staying interested in the plot and felt that the story, as far as short stories go, overstayed its welcome.
→ Slumber Party - Ashley Franz Holzmann ★★★☆☆ ←
The second sleepover story in the collection portrays a group of preteen boys who get caught up in the sick games of a strange man who visits them late in the evening and refuses to leave. I actually thought the plot for this one was nice and creepy, but the beginning was very slow and there was a lot of repetition in the narration. If this story had been shortened by a few pages of rambling, I would have easily given it four stars.
→ Neptune's Fancy - Vincent V. Cava ★★☆☆☆ ←
The collection ends with a story of fisherman who come across a mermaid who promises them lush rewards if they return her to her home. This story was such a bizarre way to end the collection, because it felt much more like dark fantasy than horror, in my opinion. While I love the idea behind any stories involving dark, scary sea people, the execution wasn't there for me throughout all of this one. It felt repetitive at many points, and while I appreciated the attempt at writing in a Scottish (presumably?) accent, the fact that the writing constantly dipped in and out of that accent made it a little difficult to understand at times.
→ FINAL THOUGHTS ←
Averaged out, my rating came to 2.85/5 stars for the entire collection, but I honestly don't feel comfortable rounding this up to a 3.
If you enjoy horror anthologies and don't mind some cheesy writing, I'd say pick up a copy of this one from BookOutlet or something. Truthfully, though, I would recommend a horror collection I found much more enjoyable overall, such as Thirteen Chairs, or Strange Weather.

This collection is a prime example of why I’m always on the fence about short story collections. They typically turn out to be only a few gems thrown in amongst the stinkers. And that’s exactly how this collection turned out! With 20 stories featured, I only REALLY thoroughly enjoyed 6 stories and that’s not a great average. The rest left me feeling either indifferent or bored out of my mind and wanting to skip through them. That’s a lot of stories to feel indifferent about and I was definitely disappointed. The real standout of the collection was Craters In Her Face which made chills go down my spine but it was the only one that really spoke to me. I always hope to discover new authors when reading a collection of short stories, it’s usually a good into to their other work but after this one, I won’t be racing to read anything else by these authors.

I wasn't sure how to rate this one really but I had fun with it. I do enjoy a good anthology and this one was very easy and fast read.

Short story collections are a hit or miss for me and this one fell in the middle. I would say I enjoyed half of these stories, while others were just really bad in my opinion. However, there were a few gems that were really really well written, and one that actually had me generally frightened. All in all, if you are a horror fan, I would give this a go but don’t have to much of high hopes.

Critical Score: D-
Personal Score: D
A whole flop, and I knew it would be, but I was just so hungry for creepypastas in book form that I caved. The first collection was pretty bad, but this is definitely worse. Even the jacket copy and intro are super poorly written. This is a crappy product all around.
The biggest flaw isn’t even the nearly universally terrible written; it’s that most of these are not creepypastas. Well, maybe they technically are, in that they are scary stories originating online. But creepypastas have really formed a genre in and of themselves, one that is not much on display in this entirely disappointing collection.
Here is my ranking of the stories. Only the top few are remotely worth reading, and even those aren’t that good.
“I Was Invited to a Sleepover” B. Poorly written, like everything in this collection, but feels like an actual creepypasta.
“The Crawlspace” B. Not that well told, but has enough of that classic creepypasta vibe to satisfy. I should have read it at night to feel more scared.
“Slumber Party” B. Disturbing and twisty, but is the ending mild homophobic propaganda? Idk.
“Your Secret Admirer” C+. Fun but dumb. Plot holes everywhere.
“Proxy” C+. Smart nihilism mixed with a confused approach to genre.
“I Couldn’t Afford a Tattoo, So I Found Someone Who Would Do It For Free” C+. Starts off good but it’s super underwritten, and the final reveal is stupid.
“I Suffer from Short Term Memory Loss” C+. Does this know that it’s riffing off of the Tell-Tale Heart?
“Bats in Winter” C+. Pretty well written; probably the only well written piece in the collection so far. A shame I wasn’t in the right mood while reading it.
“That Thing Up There” C. Sort of a gimmick because it’s so brief with its subversion.
“For Love and Hot Chocolate” C-. Terribly written, too long, neither heartwarming nor clever, thematically problematic, feels nothing like a creepypasta, and devoid of scares. However, I was sort of engaged the whole time?
“Hobo Heart Stitches” C-. Stupid but fast-paced and gory.
“Craters in Her Face” C-. Cheap. Nowhere near as good as her other piece in this collection, “The Crawlspace”.
“The Puppeteer” C-. Uses a kill from NOES Dream Warriors, and very random plotting, but I liked the voice.
“The Beast of Battered Grove” C-. Sort of a cozy folk horror? Still bad though.
“If Only They Were Cannibals” D. This zombie short is voice-y, but in an annoying way.
“Bubbles” D. An underwritten gross-out anecdote.
“Marsh Baywood Shirts” D. Another underwritten story—works as an opening scene to a mediocre scare.
“Tunnel 72F” D-. A slightly offensive approach to its scary premise, and terrible writing that squanders any potential.
“Neptune’s Fancy” F. An annoying stylized mermaid story—nothing to interest me.
“The Strangest Case of Dr. Henry Montague” F. Hated the setting and mood—skimmed.

Finally, a second volume is here! I was captivated from the very first story of this volume and I managed to read the whole book in 3 days (I know it could be done in 1, but I have a life, too).
Anyway, I loved how the stories were even more frightening than in the first book and what delighted me the most was that there were more stories about creepypasta characters, e.g. The Puppeteer, Hobo Heart etc. What surprised me was the story about sea monsters (written by Vincent V. Cava) where also was H.P. Lovecraft's the Cthulhu mentioned, so I really consider to read Lovecraft's pieces.
The top 3 most captivating stories were "For love and hot chocolate" by Madame Macabre, "Tunnel 72F" by Michael Whitehouse and "Craters in her face" also by Madame Macabre. This is only just my opinion but I loved those three the most, they had the right amount of fear and supernatural in them with open endings which could give the reader a space for more questions and fantasy.
The only negative thing that I should mention is that there should be more stories in this volume, haha. Also, I would like to read more stories by Vincent V. Cava in the future, so I'll try find some. I hope that this volume wasn't the last one and we all can look forward to more creepy, chilling stories!

As someone who loves all kinds of horror and who was not into the whole creepy pasta thing, I was excited when someone lent me this book. I think creepypasta is intrigueing since it's a form of modern day folklore or like campfire storytelling except it happens on screen. While these tales have creators, they remain anonymous and many people start writing about the same characters.
This, coupled with the fact that creepypastas is a kid phenomenon, means that I have to change my criteria for what makes a good story. I do not go into kid section horror books I read as a little one, expecting abstract fleshed out themes. I don't go into fairytales expecting nuanced characters. So therefore I cannot go into creepypastas expecting 10/10 penmanship or exquisite a24 worthy narratives.
But read with adequate expectations these really are not bad stories at all. Some of them are a bit meh or even bad, while others are downright genius. Whoever you who wrote Bats In Winter are, I hope you've revamped and fleshed out the story. Cause it has the potential to become a truly ingenious horror novel.
What I enjoyed most about the tales, was how they cut to the essence of horror which is finding something creepy and work with that. It shows that all you need is one idea, one element you can work with.

This second in a series of Creepypasta collections is even better than the first. If you enjoyed Vol. 1, you'll certainly enjoy this one as well. If you haven't, I'd recommend starting with this one instead of the first. Horror fans will certainly find something here to like.

Bone-chilling stories all of them, many with the fresh and uniquely disturbing edge only internet writers seem to possess. MrCreepyPasta did a great job pacing the stories of this second volume, ranging from quick/sharp to longer descents into madness. “I Suffer from Short-Term Memory Loss,” the hypnotic “Bats in Winter,” and the grand finale “Neptune’s Fancy” take the cake for best written, along with “The Beast of Battered Grove” and “Slumber Party” as honorable mentions.
“I used to think man ruled the sea—that the creatures dwelling in its were ours to hunt and kill, but the venom in me blood has pulled the veil from my eyes and revealed the harrowing truth. We are nothing in this world. Its true kings will show themselves soon enough. I can hear the prayers of those monks now, even when I’m awake. They haunt me and remind me of this fact. He sleeps, they tell me, he sleeps, but I know that he will not sleep forever for the day will eventually come when he rises from his slumber!” —Vincent V. Cava, ‘Neptune’s Fancy,’ p. 295

After enjoying the previous volume of stories, I was hopeful for the second volume to be just as good. Unfortunately, it felt more like the book was written to let some of Mr. Creepypasta's friends have stories in print. Especially for the first half of the book, none of the stories were very good. The second half was a bit better and had a few good stories that sent a chill down my spine. But for the most part, the stories felt basic and more like a first draft. Especially the extremely generic zombie story that was only different because these zombies are horny. (I wish I was making that up)

Not horrible, but not what I was looking for. Most of these stories weren’t scary. I read them at night and wasn’t even nervous. Most of the stories were rather dull. A few were interesting but too short for me to care.

I enjoyed the first one better, however this was an entertaining read.

OVERALL - ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Quite the mix of stories, I really enjoyed a few but the rest were okay. I am proud of myself for finishing an entire anthology collection though, that’s unheard of for me!!!
(also the overall rating is from adding up my individual stars and diving the total by 20, which I then rounded up)
———————————————
Your Secret Admirer - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gory. Horrible. Loved it.
Bubbles - ⭐️⭐️
Didn’t like this one, wasn’t scary or fleshed out very well even for a short story.
Marsh Baywood Shirts - ⭐️⭐️
Had good potential, but didn’t follow through and wasn’t scary.
For Love and Hot Chocolate - ⭐️
Not at all scary and way too long. Didn’t feel original, and even the “twist” to have the protagonist to win was weak. At the fourth story in, I’m calling this the worst of the book.
The Crawlspace - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved it, very good use of the short story format.
The Thing Up There - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was thinking this wasn’t going to be scary or good and then the twist!!! And I find myself grinning. I’ve been had, hahaha
Proxy - ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ {3.5 stars}
Scary because I hate the idea of losing my mind, but not scary-scary like nightmare inducing.
I Suffer From Short-Term Memory Loss - ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was so ready to shout FIVE FUCKING STARS at this until the final few sentences. 😑 I literally groaned out loud when we went from horrifying to stupid zombies. Cheapened the whole story and brought down my rating by a ton. This could have easily been one of the best of the book but it was ruined literally in the last three sentences.
The Puppeteer - ⭐️
Unnecessarily depressing, Jesus.
Hobo Heart-Stitches - ⭐️
A good contender for worst of the book. It was so basic and sloppy, no nuance or real scary bits to it. It felt like the story was just stomping from one bit to the next and I didn’t care about the characters at ALL.
Craters in Her Face - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved this one. Creepy and disturbing and perfect!!!
If Only They Were Cannibals - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved this one, wish there was more!!! It was just getting good and then it ended! 😭
Tunnel 72F - ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I didn’t like the writing of this one, it was a SLOG to get through the 15ish pages. It picked up near the end once the scary stuff started but all that backstory and explanation felt unnecessary for a short story. The scary bit was good, but not enough to outdo the first 70% of the story.
Bats in Winter - ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I liked this one too, but anything related to a mysterious disease, people getting sick and dying and talking about it on social media still hits WAY too close to home for my tastes. 🥲 This came out in 2017 but it could have easily been a Covid story. It was honestly sad, not scary.
I Was Invited to a Sleepover - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Whoa. This one was fucked up ahahaha I wanted more!!! What was going on!? It was scary cuz it was messed up, but I liked it.
I Couldn’t Afford a Tattoo, So I Found Someone Who Would do it for Free - ⭐️⭐️
Didn’t like this one, the concept was interesting but I thought the execution was poor. There were two times in it that I was truly confused about what had happened, which feels like too much for a 10 page story. Could have been way better.
The Strangest Case of Dr. Henry Montague - ⭐️
Wow, this one wasn’t good at all. Wasn’t scary and I had a hard time picturing what was going on with the machine. Bottom three for sure.
The Beast of Battered Grove - ⭐️
Way too long, one of the worst of the book. The twist was interesting but I found the story within the story more interesting than the girl and her pet beast frolicking around. It felt like 30 pages of nothing for what could have easily been half that, if the author had zeroed in one one story or the other, instead of jamming the two together.
Slumber Party - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yalllllll this one fucked me up ahahaha one of my faves!!! It had just enough realism to be very scary to me, I loved it. The twenty pages flew by!
Neptune’s Fancy - ⭐️
Didn’t like this one. Obviously in a scary story collection the mermaid like character you pulled from the sea is gonna fuck you up. And she did. Now that I’m done it I almost feel like I’ve read the story before, or something similar? Even with the sort of twist at the end. I also really didn’t like the writing style, I found it hard to read, especially at the end of the book when I’m tired and just want to be done it already. 😂

2/5
DNF
Most of these were kind of shit, to be honest, I wouldn't recommend reading this unless you're around 12 years old.
Your Secret Admirer by CreepsMcPasta: I expected it to be childish but was proven wrong. Short and unsettling, nice use of the "you" perspective. 7/10.
Bubbles by Max Lobdell: A badly written and bland version of The Silence from Doctor Who. 3/10.
Marsh Baywood Shirts by TalesOfTim: Unsettling idea, mediocre execution. I would like to think that some kind of loss-induced anxiety was involved. 5/10.
For Love and Hot Chocolate by K. Banning Kellum: A long childhood-based tale with a missed opportunity. 3/10.
The Crawlspace by Madame Macabre: Unsettling idea, though it would've been more unsettling if the antagonist was human, very anticlimactic ending. 4/10.
That Thing Up There by WellHeyProductions: Nice twist, not scary though. 4/10.
Proxy by Aaron Shotwell: Very well written and intriguing, though a bit confusing. 8,5/10.
I Suffer From Short-Term Memory Loss by Jagger Rosenfeld: A Tell-Tale Heart-esque story with a disappointing ending. 8/10.

Creepy
The stories in this volume was very great. And made me thirst for more! My favorite was the last one, “Neptune’s Fancy”. It was like reading a sailor scary story! The entire volume was very descriptive and different, and offered the reader a clear and vivid visual on what each author was trying to portray. However, I will add a trigger warning for some of the stories. Other than that, it offered, this volume gave gore, horror, suspense, a sense of dread and it was a page turner! Definitely recommend for horror fans as myself!

I like a number of the Creepypasta stories I've read online and elsewhere ('Pancake Family,' 'The Snowman Ritual,' 'Smile Dog,' 'Mayhem Mountain,' 'Betsy the Doll,' 'Death at 423 Steerborn Street,' 'The Disappearance of Emily Morgan,' 'Room 733,' 'Candle Cove,' 'Squidward's Suicide,' 'Wrong Way Charlie,' 'Anansi's Goatman,' 'Gateway of the Mind,' etc.) and find the format of "true" internet postings an interesting one, but I didn't enjoy many of the stories in The Creepypasta Collection, Volume 2, several of which felt like teen urban fantasy and very few of which (even the good ones) have the "true" posting vibe I associate with this subgenre. Still, the tales by Isaac Boissonneau, Max Lobdell, Vincent V. Cava and Madame Macabre are enjoyable, especially Cava's grim nautical story, 'Neptune's Fancy.'
Boissonneau, Lobdell, and Cava had strong pieces in The Creepypasta Collection Volume 1, which I do recommend for their works (Boissonneau's 'The Horror from the Vault' is great, and Lobdell's tales 'Licks from a Bear' and 'Teeny Tiny' are nauseating creepypasta exemplars). One story by Rona Vaselaar ('Down in the Library Basement') has some real chills, and Matt Dymerski's 'Psychosis' and 'A Trick of Perspective' are strong, smart scientific horror gems (the latter tale recalling Brian Hodge's great work). Dymerski also has a collection of short stories (Psychosis: Tales of Horror) I liked.
I hope more well-curated creepypasta collections like Volume 1 come out in print in the future, since there are clearly a number of very talented storytellers like C.K. Walker, Max Lobdell, and Matt Dymerski working in this inchoate horror subgenre...

As with the previous book I found it hard to put this one down. I sped through the stories happily and recieved my much needed fill of creepy stories. The only thing stopping me from giving this book a 5 start rating is that a couple of the stories were not written particuarly well and made it feel a bit cliched but the rest were excellent.
April 3, 2022
Much like the first one, this is a great horror anthology. I'd say it doesn't quite have the teeth that the first one had, but there are still some definitely creepy moments here. The stories are pretty short and are easily read in a sitting or on the terlet. Highly recommend this one and the first one.

Again another good book from Creepypasta
I loved all the stories in this book. I would recommend it for someone on the move so they could have something to read while they're on the. Kindly wish they made more books but there's only 3 in This author. I don't give a spoilers but I can say that They are very good. 5 creepypastas out of 5

Personally liked the first book better but there were some gems in this one. The final story was absolutely my favorite because of the way it was written like a sailors old journal entry. The detail in the description of the mer-people and the way the nightmares were described vividly was top tier. There were a couple others that were really good but the last one was the best in my opinion.
October 21, 2021
Not as enjoyable as volume 1 but still some stories were fun and creepy. I liked: Your Secret Admirer; Bubbles; Proxy; I Suffer from Short-Term Memory Loss; Craters in Her Face; Bats in Winter; Slumber Party.
February 18, 2022
Another great collection of Creepypasta stories!
Another enjoyable collection! Without giving any details, one of my favorite stories was about zombies...but a different version from the zombies we've grown used to.

Bothered by the grammar
The story ideas were mostly good. Much of the writing was full of awkward sentences and paragraph structure. I only really liked 2 or 3 of the stories as they were well written.

An amazing collection of stories. The stories are quick and you can read through a bunch in a short amount of time. Like the previous one there are a mix of old stories and new. As well as having interesting topics for the scares.

better than the First
The sequel did not disappoint. These stories are disgusting, disturbing, and at the very least, unsettling. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Good!
Way better than the first one in own opinion, as it is more old school than modern. Too bad I couldn’t find some of the authors on Amazon, there is some talented one here!

I would've expected better, there were some really cheap pastas in there. Not as good as the first book. It was still a good read if you average out the overall experience though.

The stories in this one were good, but not as good as the stories in volume 1.
