I want to take the time to highlight my top 2 stories here which I think will stick with me the most which though less reliant on body horror still packed a significant punch:
1. Show Me - themes around sexism, gender roles, and toxic relationships
2. Man of the House - themes around homophobia and transphobia

My favorite was “Looking for the Big Death” by Taliesin Neith, as it explored the fascination of dying and the intimacy of killing someone.

Standouts for me are "Mama is a Butcher" and "Show Me." I'd consider the best of the lot to be " Lady Davelina’s Last Pet."

Some favourites include The Haunting of Aiden Finch (which is great for creepypasta fans), Lady Davelina’s Last Pet, Long Fingers, and the final three especially!
Some were a bit of a miss for me, but I still absolutely recommend this anthology!
I was offered a free copy of this book by Book Sirens and am leaving this review voluntarily.
