We Are Here to Hurt Each Other by Paula D. Ashe
5.0
"Here is the dark. May your light be purer for its partaking."
I went into this expecting a standard work of horror short stories - one of my favorite types of books to read, but I know the beats. some good ones, some bad ones, maybe a few you absolutely love. but I was NOT READY for this collection. the ferocity, the intimacy, the way it embraces the most taboo and extreme horrors this world can contain with a tenderness - it truly blew me away. this is a new favorite and I will honestly read anything and everything from this author. definitely be mindful reading if you have hard boundaries about some topics, but it is so worth the plunge.
