This is an incredible exploration of widowhood that will shatter your heart, it is convulsive grief, overwhelming loss held up and viewed through a horror mirror, this was superb but as with all Sam’s book please check the trigger warnings, I loved it!

While graphic, and at times hard to read, I think this book was a fantastic collection of short stories. Sam Richard’s grief is palpable in every single one, and is a disturbing reality check about death and loss. A good reminder to appreciate those in your life, because you’ll never know when they’ll be gone. I was not a big fan of The Prince if Mars and Deathlike Love, I think overall this is a strong collection and worth a read for horror fans.
