5.0
I know it's too early to say this but I may have found my favourite read of the year.
It's been ages since an anthology of short stories, or any story, has made me feel this level of genuine unease.
I felt such a perverse fascination with the stories inside and couldn't stop myself from reading them all in one go.
It's been twenty-four hours since I finished it and I'm still constantly thinking about the imagery involved.
Each of the tales stands alone but they are all connected by a common theme - the artistic eye. The worlds it can see and the worlds it can shape.
The imagery within the stories is both beautiful and terrifying. Fascinating and unnerving. And above all, queer.
I personally enjoyed the amount of cosmic horror sprinkled throughout the collection.
I would definitely recommend this anthology to both dedicated and casual fans of the horror genre.
I would like to thank Weirdpunk Books and Sam Richards for giving me a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
