Some really interesting ideas for short stories that were either a bit too short to be effective or started really good but did not nail the ending. Which led to this collection being just okay overall. However, this is definitely an author I want to read more from in the future. Especially, since certain parts of the author’s writing really hit for me at times.

✨🌠 my about / byf / CW info carrd: uchiha-madara 🌠✨

I wanted to love this. I kinda just liked it instead, with mild hate to 'wounded' for tactless use of csa plot points. I felt at times the writing was a little weak, but when it was good, it dunks your brain into creepy crawly juice. This was fairly heavy on traumatic topics and gross out horror, which I'm not personally keen on. All the same I'd rec this if you want some good indigenous horror.

It was certainly a creepy, freaky, gross, terrifying assortment of tales. My fave was 'Imitate' because I adore a good Changeling story.

It's really hard to rate a collection of short stories.
