Mh... I like Crane as a skilled psychologist who is competent enough that he doesn't need gas or other drugs to let every normal person quaking in their boots. And the truly great horror stories let what happens to the readers imagination and if there was something concrete written it would possible fall flat for some people.
But at the same time the story only tells us and doesn't show. And since this is a revamped take on the character it hurts some scenes a lot. The passage about Zsasz cutting himself to cope for example feels unreal because we don't see anything of this scene played out. A little wordless picture of a terrified Zsasz would be enough. It takes away appeal from a perfectly good story because some parts just state how scary Crane is but they don't enforce it.
But overall this is good. :)
