Really enjoyed this read. The book overall touches on the intersection of horror and otherness and how we define this and what we fear. My favorite stories were: Idiot Girls, Waste Not, Miss Infection USA.

A middling collection of stories. Most of these didn't even scare me. They were fun to read, but didn't grip me with terror. The only story that did was S.A. Cosby's. That story absolutely blew me away and is one that I'd love to read more about.
