I don’t read horror as a rule because I’m a big baby, but most of the stories in here were at my tolerance or lower, and “The Haunting of the Wilson’s by Me and That Bitch, Todd” is one of the best things I’ve ever read. Check trigger warnings if you have a need, but overall McSweeney’s succeeded in a perfect literary spooky collection.
Graphic: Blood, Death of parent, Murder, Violence, Gore, Grief, Child death, Death, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Toxic relationship, Body horror, Cursing, Gun violence, Torture, Murder, and Suicide
