🖤 Mini Review 🖤
 Teicher vs Nietzsche was darkly funny. The story titled Hell had the most poetic and horrific descriptions of the older women and what they do to a bird, this collection will leave you breathless and scared. I found this collection of stories dark and terrifying. There were stories that felt like a dark nightmare full of wild thoughts and warped views of life, the body, and what madness looks like in different people. I also thought it was interesting stories like Soil and The Dead were from POV of children which made them even scarier. 

🚎⚡️My #1 Favorite Short Story was called "The Solitary Ones," all I'll say is the electricity goes out on New Years while a women is on the last train alone... wow my heart was racing and I was glad to be in a well lit highly populated place when I listened to this story. 

💙 My 2nd favorite was a story was revenge, female rage, and was incredibly haunting... a man who targets women is haunted himself while going to a rock concert. The story as called Mary Carminum. Going into this story blind reminded me a lot of the vibes of They Never Learn by Layne Fargo. 

🎫📽 My 3rd Favorite Short Story was about the fictional movie, "Eyes Of Pain" was definitely top 3 best stories as it was about a movie and the last copy being with a man obsessed with the leading lady. 

🖤💀🗡 If you decide to read this series of stories in one haunting experience I highly reccomend experiencing as an audiobook ~ felt like a spooky podcast hidden behind dusty books. 

🚨Please check trigger warnings prior to reading as this short story collection is haunting and discusses adult content.

I loved this short story book. Adiobooking this type of book can be hard because everything is just so fast paced but I really liked it. Most of the stories were deeply dark, mysterious, grotesque, obscure, and horror based. Really good for those who are into those types of stories.

Beautifully unhinged and absolutely grim. My mind went to places and thoughts it hadn't visited for some time.
