As others have said, liked certain stories more than others. Was initially drawn to this book because of the promise of queer horror and honestly, yes, it was delivered. I felt as if some stories were much weaker than their counterparts, though, hence the rating.
Great WLW representation, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that all the stories only revolved around that; I’m so used to queer media being focused on MLM, I think!
Interesting and dark, sometimes bloody and gory, but a good read (mostly!)

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
