If I’m honest this book was just not really my style of book. But if you are looking for a good horror short story then I would say you should definitely keep this book in mind. Major warning: it’s body horror and pretty graphic. But it definitely took me on a twisted adventure and left me completely speechless by the end.

An intriguing, fast-paced downward spiral with a unique format. Not as shocking as people made it seem but definitely heed the content warnings, it does get graphic!
I wouldn’t go to this book for representation by any means, but the characters’ queerness makes certain parts of the narrative much more compelling.

underwhelmingly mediocre. each story had a strong premise and each failed to deliver any kind of interesting, tense, or emotional conclusion. The first two were quite gross--i guess for the shock value?--but weren't scary. Just yucky.

Estoy impactada en el mejor de los sentidos. Normalmente no soy fan de los thrillers, pero algo me atrajo de esta lectura. Es ligera y rápida la forma de leerla, pero a ratos es tan pesada que si me tomé unos minutos.

Recomendada pero con la reserva que no es para los altamente sensibles.
