carrionkid's review against another edition

4.0

An interesting sequel to a timeless horror work, although it was kind of crude at times. Was NOT thrilled that a book written in 2013 had a character called by a racial slur. But the theme of healing from cycles of abuse and trauma was surprisingly well done!
