really good - the title novella is gross and nasty and full of dread, which personally i loved. the final short story gave me the same feeling as some of shirley jackson’s work too, which is a big plus for me as i love her stuff.

some of the dialogue is sometimes a bit unrealistic or odd, but i was able to get past that just fine, especially as a lot of the characters are supposed to come off a little weird.

overall, would definitely recommend this!
