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.

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.

It’s very dark and twisted - trigger warning for those who don’t want to read about SA.
