Should’ve read the content warnings before I read this one. I should have dnf’d it. Besides the focus on very real issues, the writing was very dry and uncomfortable. Usually with anthologies like this I can’t generalize the book as a whole but I can with this one. Especially Monster, which was the most difficult to get through. Now I know not to read anything by these authors. I understand some people enjoyed the book but it just wasn’t the horror that I like. I went in expecting a Cabinet of Curiosities type of book but that is not what it was. This is likely going to put me off of the genre for a while.
