Inside is a collection of short stories that connect fantasy and a little humor. I think it was a great idea to shoot for a sequel anthology because the first one had a little magic in it’s writing. Some stories from the original still linger in my brain. After reading and enjoying the first anthology, Blood Lite, I expected not just funny stories in fantasy settings but memorable. Fact is I can only remember one story in Blood Lite II:Overbite and had to do with a guy out with his girlfriend at a diner. The description of the girlfriend was disgusting and not funny. The other stories are lost from my memory. I even had to re-read quite often. This one missed it’s mark but there is a third installment and...I probably will read it too. An anthology of humorous horror stories. I thought the first collection (titled, unsurprisingly, Blood Lite) was kind of a mixed bag. This one is, too, although overall perhaps a slightly less interesting one. There are a few delightful stories -- Lucien Soulban's "Good Breeding," about Lovecraftian horrors trying to figure out what to do with themselves after bringing about the apocalypse, is a hilariously entertaining standout -- but far too many are more gimmick than story, or are playing with tired Halloweeny tropes in not terribly interesting ways. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

My favorite was Daycare of the Damned. Whats not to like about creepy kids with weird powers. I would love to see this one expanded on. I also liked American Banshee, Death and Taxes, and Dark Carbuncle. My least favorite story was Table for Two. This one seemed like it was trying to be gross just for the sake of being gross.
Over all, these stories were heavy on the supernatural, but very lite on the horror. They were supposed to be humorous but they weren't really laugh out loud funny. More like an ironic twist kind of funny. I enjoyed reading them and would recommend this book to people who like supernatural stories. ( )
