This was worth the read for the first short story " I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream." Other than that, it lost me.

finished the titular story for the cultural lore, the rest... its not that its bad writing/ideas but my blue hair, pronouns and it not being, idk, the 60s? anymore is holding me back from giving a fuck

Nie mam super doświadczenia jeśli chodzi o science fiction, ale w sumie mi się podobało. Zachowanie bohaterów jest trochę nad wyraz, samo rozwiązanie tej historii jest trochę bez sensu, zważając na to, że przez te 109 lat mogło się wydarzyć dużo wcześniej, natomiast zdecydowanie nie można odmówić tej opowieści horroru, który pokazuje i klimatu jaki buduje.
