Other Terrors: An Inclusive Anthology by Vince A. Liaguno, Rena Mason

sarah984's review against another edition

dark

2.5

Kind of an unfortunate anthology, most of the stories were just not that good: either kind of aimless, felt unfinished, or tone deaf in the way the "otherness" was handled. 

Favourites: Where The Lovelight Gleams by Michael Thomas Ford, Miss Infection USA by Shanna Heath and Mud Flappers by Usman T. Malik.

dark mysterious reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Really enjoyed this read. The book overall touches on the intersection of horror and otherness and how we define this and what we fear. My favorite stories were: Idiot Girls, Waste Not, Miss Infection USA.
