"The world is a stage, life is a play, and we are the puppets. It's better not to ask who pulls the strings." How lucky do you feel? That question echoed through the world's underground, scrawled on bathroom walls, spray-painted across subway tunnel exits, written on paper that fluttered through bleak side-streets in the winter wind, printed on cheap business cards tacked to corkboard displays in darkened hallways. But always beneath one name-Limbus. Matthew Sellers revealed the truth of Limbus, Inc. to the world, and in his tales of time travelers, intergalactic beings, and human sacrifice, he thought he had told it all. But the story of the shadowy employment agency that operates on the edge of the abyss, always finding the perfect person for the perfect job-no matter what the cost-had only begun. This shared-world anthology continues the story of Limbus, Inc., as told by five masters of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. But beware, for once you learn the truth of Limbus, Inc., your world will never be the same. So it's time to ask yourself . . . How lucky do you feel?… (más)

Overall, a better collection than the first one, and, while fun, I still feel like the concept is good, but the authors aren't truly exploiting the Limbus Corporation to the fullest extent. I'd like to see a bit more focus on Limbus, instead of being taken through a retread of the recruitment scene with every story.

That said, the standout, yet again, was the concluding story by Maberry, throwing Sam Hunter and Joe Ledger together.

Let's see what the third volume has in store. ( )

This book is comprised of five short stories loosely linked by short interstitial chapters. They all follow the same basic structure. A down on their luck or otherwise downtrodden person is recruited by a shadowy agency under mysterious circumstances. Each story is by a different author, all accomplished in the horror genre.
The stories themselves are all competent, if not groundbreaking. The shared setting lends them a little more intrigue than they would likely possess on their own. I was not enraptured but not disappointed either. Thoroughly ok. ( )

Limbus, Inc. Book 2 is a shared anthology featuring some heavy hitters in the horror genre, masterfully edited by Brett Talley. Weaving into all of these stories is a shadowy hiring agency called Limbus Inc. that seems to find just the right people for a given job provided they are desperate enough to take it. The interludes that weaved in between the stories were probably my favorite part of the book. They followed a hacker who was being fed the same stories that the reader was reading. In the process, he was being lured in to work for the organization.

As for the stories, for the most part, they were high quality. The one that didn’t work for me was the one written by Gary Braunbeck. “Three Guys Walk Into a Bar”, written by Jonathan Maberry was a cool tale that features some of the characters in the series of novels that he writes thrown in together to stop an evil plot to manufacture werewolves to fight for rogue foreign governments was pretty cool. But my favorite story would have to be “Lost and Found” by Joe McKinney. It’s a story about a man down and out after losing his wife from a terrible murder who was given the opportunity to travel through time and save people who are about to be killed. The flow of the stories was great. The concept is really cool and the execution was even better. I preferred Limbus Inc. Book 3, but this anthology is a winner that is well worth reading

I enjoyed Limbus, Inc.'s second collection (but not quite as much as the first). The tales were nicely tied together and "Three Guys Walk into a Bar" was the highlight of the collection. ( )
