It was sad, seeing someone dove wholeheartedly into an unrequited romance with just selfish intent on the other side. And the building dread that forms in the first few pages just continues to compile til the final line.

I found no real redeeming quality in this collection. The writing was not great (if I hear someone spooned something ever again it will be too soon, and how do ears furrow exactly??) It's only January 9th and I'm pretty sure this is going to the top of the worst books I read list for 2024 already.

- the first story was like watching Helter Skelter (2012), Love Exposure, Bones and All, Anti-Christ, Raw, and Titane.
- The second one is like watching Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Lodge, Enys Men, & Saint Maud.
- The third is JUST like Speak No Evil, The Invitation (2015) and Creep.
