Yes yes yes give me more. This is the kind of stuff that gets me going and it’s not even because of the overwhelming gay erotica involved. As soon as I started the first story I was hooked because it felt so Lovecraftian despite having nothing to do with eldritch horror. Many of the stories are just tinged with this beautiful strange, creepy shivering horror vibes, and the ones that aren’t are instead fun as hell. 
The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because not every story clicked with me, a few felt a little boring. 
Overall a collection of queer literary horror-esque short stories that I’d recommend to everyone.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

This has truly blown me away, I’ve never been so enthralled by a short story collection. There is not a single miss here, every story is unique, creative and horrifying in different ways. 

I also love that every story is explicitly sapphic. 

Some of my favourites were: What would you give for a treat like me, Nature Morte, The Summoning, Rath, Playing House
