Honestly for a collection of short stories, I wasn't expecting to have e so many wtf and ph np not this moments which was very cool to see. However the book deals with some heavy themes and is not suitable for everyone

Based on for my personal enjoyment and rating of these stories, I hated it. 

This book is filled with incomplete stories and trauma porn (specifically of women and children ). I guess if you want a really bad time, go ahead and read it.

Had this actually done something to explore the difficult themes within each story, maybe it would have been better. What it did was use really disturbing concepts to barely touch the surface of the story while never making it feel like there was truly commentary or a sense of completion. Also the SA the children went through was entirely unnecessary, even less so when the vile nature of the topic was barely even touched upon each time.

I know this book is slightly unconventional, but it’s awesome. Just stick with it. The stories are short, but not sweet. They are dark and horrible, however they do not sugarcoat the human experience.

The first few stories in this book were so good--creepy and unsettling and just the right amount of wild to put you off-kilter. But I honestly felt like the further into the book I went, the less compelling and less well-written the stories became. A bummer because it started off so well!
