Poor writing; short stories that tried to be dark and serious to the point they just became boring, silly and stupid.

I loved this book. Every story was interesting, usually all the stories in a short story collection aren't that interesting, but these were!
But I would only recommend this book to someone who I know is weird af. The trauma this will inflict is not worth the bad karma I'm willing to have

unresolved mysteries, horror undertones. i got truly weirded out by some stories, others felt foreseeable.
Graphic: Excrement, Gore, Pedophilia, and Body horror

I really enjoyed this collection, its the perfect thing to read if you want to feel uneasy. My favourite stories were: where are you, dear heart; Meat; Kids who come back; Back when we talked to the dead.
This book is also special to me because it was gifted by my beautiful angel baby Scarlett, so I will treasure it forever <3
