I have the edition with the two other stories but I'll read those at a later date, which is why I'm commenting on this one.

THGWSWLS has a lot of hype... but it didn't hit. I wanted it to get progressively worse but instead there was like 1 gross scene and then it ended. The end was weird and while I did like it, it came too fast and just fell flat. We also didn't get to explore Zoe as a character as much as I would've liked.

I read this story two years ago and it has stuck with me ever since. Please check trigger warnings. This is extreme horror.
