Paul Tremblay took a huge risk with the novella in this collection, which is an anthropomorphic animal folktale written completely in verse and it WORKED. God I love him.

I’m a big fan of short story collections, but as with all collections, there are stories I enjoyed, and stories I didn’t enjoy.
Some of my favorites in this collection were:
-I Know You’re There
-The Blog at the End of the World
-House of Windows
-The Last Conversation
-The Beast You Are
A few of the stories in this collection are related to his novels, which I also enjoyed. If you haven’t had the chance to read A Head Full of Ghosts, I recommend it as it’ll increase your enjoyment level.
A lot of these stories were really creative, and I enjoyed seeing how Tremblay constructed these stories.
Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for the chance to read this advanced review copy.
CW: death, grief, pandemic, murder, animal death, body horror, entomophobia, addiction, child abuse, blood, gore, child death
