also had to bring rating down because the transphobic slurs were not it. and do check content warnings in general if you're interested in reading this book.

Many of these stories were only about 10 pages which I think is just not long enough for me to get invested.
I preferred the stories that were a little creepy, especially the longest story in the book ‘the kids who came back’. I didn’t particularly enjoy the stories that weren’t scary and instead were just absolutely vile (on purpose I’m sure). I had to take breaks between stories as some turned my stomach. So, if that’s what you’re looking for - this is the short story collection for you!
