challenging dark mysterious tense fast-paced

I enjoyed most of the short stories in this book quite a lot. 

It is filled with very tense short stories who perfectly fit into the horror genre. Some are very uncomfortable to read, and I'd say check some reviews and trigger warnings before reading. But I think horror readers will quite enjoy this collection of short stories.

I especially enjoyed the folklore and mythical aspects in a lot of the stories.

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
