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.

if you’re looking for short stories that are unsettling, eerie, and queer, this fits the bill.
i’m not much one for short stories, i’m finding, and horror isn’t my go-to genre, though the horror depicted here is a odd melding of old fairy and folk tales, grim realities, and the truly bizarre, which made it a lot more readable than i’d expected, given there were themes familiar to even my uninitiated horror reader self.
many stories were really quite gross and a few i had to sort of skim over due to triggering material but all in all, logan is a really skilled writer and this makes me all the more eager to pick up some of her other work that i’ve been eyeing for awhile.
