Soft DNF at 40%, I was looking for horror dealing with the concept of liminality but here it's only in the loosest sense that there's any liminality, nothing wrong with the stories otherwise just really not what I was looking for.

“My life has become a sum of all the ways a person can be powerless.” -Kristi DeMeester
Sometimes it feels like we are there, in between, in a liminal space. A transitional space where we are neither one thing or another.
Disturbing and dark, these are stories of places you don’t want to find yourself. Reminiscent of the old Tales From the Darkside where regular people slip off the path of normality.
Wander into the drive-in, the parking garage, the delivery room, the bar, or the cat cafe- however, you won’t walk out the same, assuming you walk out at all.
Great writing with a wide variety of settings and styles that come together to create a nice collection of suffering.

I am reviewing this book for Cemetery Dance in my position as an early reviewer, so I must note I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
A new, refreshing horror collection about the spaces between, running the gamut from simply the best Lovecraftian story I have ever read to the most disturbing body horror about the most selfish cat lady that has ever lived. Two of the stories take place in the time of Covid without being stressful to the reader, and both take a unique approach to this new horror we face, our”new normal” and the in-between space it has created in our lives. With carefully crafted introductions to each author, the reader will be making TBR lists as they go along, and making new horror friends as they crawl between these walls.
