It’s no secret, I’m a huge fan of Matthew Vaughn. I eagerly await every new release. Vaughn is one of those authors who is continually honing his craft, refining his storytelling and technical skills with each new tale. If you read House Call, you probably thought Vaughn really extended himself with the level of violence and depravity and you’d be right. Maybe you expect the sequel to be more of the same and you’d be right…and wrong.

House Call 2 brings us back to Mr. Garnish’s house of horrors. What, did you think Garnish was done taking care of his brother’s dark desires? This time we meet a stand up guy named Josiah…bahaha nah, he’s actually a pedophile who arrives at Garnish’s house hoping to meet a young boy he’d been talking to online. And before you start thinking maybe Garnish has taken a cue from Dexter and decided to punish the wicked, think again. Garnish is no Chris Hansen. There is no redemption for Garnish or his brother. No, he has continued where he left off and is more depraved and violent than ever. Let’s just say Josiah definitely gets what he deserves and more. Unfortunately, he is not the only casualty of the desires that got him into this position in the first place.

I don’t want to give away too much of the story. If you like fucked stories about fucked up people, you might like House Call 2. If you liked House Call, you’ll love House Call 2. If you’re even a little squeamish, well…maybe pass. Vaughn hits on all the major triggers in this one. Splatter hounds will love it. I sure did.
