The ending story, ‘Back When We Talked to the Dead’ ended this book on a creepy note which upped my rating for the book.

also had to bring rating down because the transphobic slurs were not it. and do check content warnings in general if you're interested in reading this book.

It was beautifully written but was very hard to read at times and would leave a bad taste in my mouth after certain chapters. Very original though and worth the read as the perspectives in it are nothing like I've ever read before.
Wonderfully horrible. Beautifully grotesque
