I see the authors intention to write short stories about connection but all stories were told in such macabre and disturbing ways, it was unsettling. I enjoyed the first story (the titular short story in this book) more than the other two, purely for its complete creep factor. But I struggled to relate to all the characters need for connection when the means to that end were totally batshit.

the enchantment was alright, didn't love it, just wasnt something i was intently invested in but i must admit i was hooked.
youll find its like that all over was also alright, just didnt relate very much at all but it worked with tension very well.
if i only read things have gotten worse i wouldve marked this 5 stars, but i didnt connect or feel as invested in the other 2.
