My Review

Found 2 is a horror short story anthology, built around the found footage horror theme, edited by Andrew Cull and Gabino Iglesias. Anthologies are always a bit complicated to review, and especially one that is centered around what probably is my favourite subgenre on horror (The Blair's Witch Project has done much damage); but this one in particular had a good level, with some memorable stories.

Despite it is not the most original thematic, I personally appreciate that some of the stories have a familiar taste, while others are looking for a more experimental format, which brings some freshness to the thematic. All the stories have an adequate length, usually resorting to end when the gotcha moments happen.

To highlight some, I would like to point at For Your Consideration, a story that smartly plays with the cover letter format, and Transcripts of Sandwich Reviews, in which we can see how the main character descends into conspiracy theories and madness.

Overall, a well balanced collection that is perfect for the lovers of the genre. From the editor's note to the last story, you will get chills under your skin; so do yourself a favour and pick it!
