I love horror, but I don’t think this is my brand of horror. It’s no lie that Enriquez is talented in their craft, but I don’t think I will read anything else they write. These stories all had interesting premises, but the level of gore was just next level and felt unnecessary at times. I also think that every story just ended so abruptly that it really threw me off. I know that’s usually the case with short stories, but it took me a second to realize when each story ended.
Graphic: Body horror, Death, Drug use, Gore, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Violence, Blood, Excrement, Vomit, Cannibalism, and Injury/Injury detail
