Review: A worthy follow up to The Scarecrow

I've read both The Scarecrow and The Narrow Gate, the latter is a worthy follow up to The Scarecrow, the new novel continues in the same creepy, small town style as the original; the dialog, atmosphere and pacing continue as established in the fist novel.  I really appreciate how Scott has captured the small farming town community atmosphere, the dread that exists within the community knowing that something old and unsettling has returned for another year and will not be denied. I have to say I'm glad to see the same pacing and informal conversational style narrative continues from one book to the next, that style originally made me want to read more of his work, I'm happy to say that I believe I've read somewhere near half by now.
