Some of the stories were misses for me, but the ones that hit were truly haunting.

This is an excellent short story collection. I loved every single one and will most likely be rereading.

I’ve been following Alexandra Erin since earlyish in the Tales of MU days and I still read her work with joy.

As individual pieces these are mostly strong. Alexandra Erin has a great way with words and the writing is authentic and well crafted. There is a bit of thematic repetition which detracts from the strength of the collection as a whole, but overall well worth reading.
(Off topic, but I highly recommend following the author on Twitter for very insightful US political analysis)

I'd read some of these stories as a Patreon supporter, and it was great to read them again in a collection. Alexandra Erin is a great writer and I recommend this collection
