I would say I prefer It Lives Beneath slightly more than It Lives in the Woods. The way Tom described it a few chapters ago was an "occult murder mystery" so it's kind of like Veil of Secrets with a supernatural theme.

I agree that I prefer not knowing what the monster is yet, because that adds to more of the mystery. So far, it's just been credited as "Lake Ghost" instead of a real name or alias. Plus I'd say it's minions are more intimidating than Redfield. For the most part, his just looked like skeletons. The Lake Ghost's minions look more like Zombies because they show the rotten flesh aspect. And they have glowing blue eyes which shows us, the readers, that the ghost is controlling them.

Another good aspect would be the latest cliffhanger raises a lot of questions about the cult. Are they good? Are they bad? Are some like Grandpa good, and are others like Richard bad?

While I did enjoy that ILITW focused on real world issues like mental health and transphobia, I would say the stakes are higher in It Lives Beneath
