After really enjoying the gory 'n' gooey violence in The Thirst, I found this second book rather underwhelming in the gore side of things...
Sure I think Mr Smith created a neat feeling of snow isolation, and at times the books characters were painted better than his other books...but gore wise it felt like a let down.
What's everyone else thoughts on this follow-up?

I loved it. Notable scene for me was the teacher being ...erm..well you know what happens to her, by the slobbering teens who come by the school. Don't judge me on that by the way.Although this website does corrupt you .
I also like the fact itis set around a snowy blizzard windswept countryside, as opposed to Smiths usual brilliant summer shockers like Abomination, Alligators, Carnivore, The Festering and his Crab books to name but a few. Very underated this one and I would imagine one that has escaped a number of casual Smith readers.

Yes, I agree the teens 'n' teacher scene was one of the more sleazy hightlights. Also the atmopshere is great too, he creates a simlar vibe in Mania.
I just wish they'd been the same level of gory 'n' gooey violence as the first book...
