This is a weighed review because if Especially Heinous was on its own, I'd rate it 5 Stars. The writing is haunting and the way it describes things is very vivid. I enjoyed it a lot!

Amazing, incredible, showstopping, never the same! I really loved this collection, the themes in it were so good and the writing is so elegant and the horror, some stuff had me grimacing physically. The only men story was Especially Heinous, which might be bc I've never seen SVU, so that's why this doesn't get the full 5, bc that one was also especially long
