dark fast-paced

4.0

I resonated with many of the stories, I didn't understand some, I'd love to talk about many of them just to see how other people read them. But I enjoyed (I'm not sure if that's the correct word for disturbing stories that are kind of true if you take away the horror) all of them. 

It's a book I'll probably return to at some point.

dark emotional reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

absolutely loved this — dark and atmospheric, beautiful poetic prose, every single story was such a banger. i loved the snippets from the fictionalised author in between each story becoming increasingly derailed as her isolation affected her. also loved that this collection had a mix of stories involving the supernatural but also real-world horrors too.

fave stories:
• last one to leave please turn off the lights
• girls are always hungry when the men are all bite-size
• birds fell from the sky and each one spoke in your voice
• my body cannot forget your body
• the only time i think of you is all the time
• sleep long, sleep tight, it is best to wake up late
• watch the wall, my darling, while the gentlemen go by

Absolutely chilling haunting stories, from the almost silly and fantastical to gore and fear. split into three parts, The House, The Child and The Past, these short stories tap into the fears women have and the fears you didn't know to be afraid of.
