I don't read a lot of horror but enjoyed most of the short stories in this collection.
Mildly unsettling to deeply disturbing, some interesting themes, and centered around female and queer characters.
The short interludes between chapters were interesting too.

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.
