this book was amazing and a few of these stories will definitely stay with me for a long time

the head: 5/5 haunting. amazing.

the embodiment: 5/5 body horror, so creepy 

cursed bunny: 4.5/5 great story about capitalism

the frozen finger: 3/5 harder to understand but atmosphere is great

snare: 4.5/5 like a fairytale

goodbye, my love: 4/5 most realistic one 

scars: 2.5/5 dragged out too much 

home sweet home: 4/5 quite realistic and eerie

ruler of the winds and sands: 3.5/5 felt like something was missing, but read like a fairytale 

reunion: 4.5/5 heartbreaking

“no one asked us, when we were still nameless
whether we wanted to live or not 
now i wander the big city alone
looking in doors and windows 
waiting and waiting for something…”

One of the creepiest boos I’ve ever read with quite a few problematic plot devices. However, this is one of the best short story collections I’ve ever read. The quality of the stories never dipped and they always had a unique twist.
