if you’re looking for short stories that are unsettling, eerie, and queer, this fits the bill.
i’m not much one for short stories, i’m finding, and horror isn’t my go-to genre, though the horror depicted here is a odd melding of old fairy and folk tales, grim realities, and the truly bizarre, which made it a lot more readable than i’d expected, given there were themes familiar to even my uninitiated horror reader self.
many stories were really quite gross and a few i had to sort of skim over due to triggering material but all in all, logan is a really skilled writer and this makes me all the more eager to pick up some of her other work that i’ve been eyeing for awhile.
