I really enjoyed this collection of short stories, and it definitely needs to come with multiple content warnings. However, maybe the ugliness of some of the characters is the real horror, the unspoken realisation that they are just like people we already know.

This book really was not for me. I'm sure there are some people out there that would love it but I honestly wanted to give up on it over and over again. I only powered through because it is a book of short stories and I thought I might find one I liked. Every story felt like it was dragging on and then the end felt like a page was missing. There are some serious and disturbing themes explored and not well, I feel like they are more being used for shock factor than anything else. I saw so many people recommend this book and I am very disappointed

Scary and graphic at times but scary in a good way - didn’t expect what was going to happen
also them describing children in that one bit made me extremely uncomfortable but like it was good to read and very interesting

Some of the stories were good and spooky (and this cover is amazing), but I really couldn’t get past the fatphobia, homophobic and transphobic slurs that were strewn throughout the book.
