Midnight at Madame Leota's by Amicus Arcane
4.0
Tales of Haunted Mansion #2 turned out to be quite an improvement over the first volume.
As a kid, I would love these so bad! Still, really interesting to read as an adult (*sigh*). A perfect combo of goosebumps and stories to tell in the dark, in a Disney Haunted Mansion setting.
The stories are tried together a bit better, as there's an overarching narrative glueing them together, and the main character is the one I could sympathize more with.
As for the short stories themselves, they were more engaging and better written. I only liked the last one from first volume, whereas here I enjoyed them all immensely, and I found the ending really satisfying.
The book's just more atmospheric, and feels very Haunted Mansion.
