I found no real redeeming quality in this collection. The writing was not great (if I hear someone spooned something ever again it will be too soon, and how do ears furrow exactly??) It's only January 9th and I'm pretty sure this is going to the top of the worst books I read list for 2024 already.

I had to pause multiple times while reading this book because it gave me the creeps. Great storytelling in an interesting way.ptitirodactyle's review against another edition
