story 1: we frolic within the leviathan's heart by Hailey Piper
4.5/5☆~ started off with me a smidge confused but very quickly caught on with the writing style and absolutely loved this one.
story 2: the neon holocaust by Eric LaRocca
5/5☆~ Holy shit this one was visceral and really hits the heart
story 3: morta by James Bennett
5/5☆~ this was a gross alien story and I liked it a lot. coming of age as a boy from another world with a destiny & a cult out to get you. fun times!
story 4: eclipse, or the courtship of the sun and moon by perry ruhland
3.5/5☆~ ok, NOW, I really like Perry's writing, like a LOT, and I didnt dislike this story specifically, but it feels like it could do with a little more. either length or detail or something, I'm not sure. but while it's good, I think it could've been better.
story 5: stage five clinger by Nikki r. Leigh
5/5☆~ oh I liked this one a LOT. poor MC.
story 6: the love that whirls by Joe koch
2/5☆~ yea, I liked parts of this, but I just dont.....get it. went a bit over my head, definitely not for me.
story 7: crumbs by Joshua r. pangborn
3/5☆~ this one is basically a bit like Geralds game only its about a sub & his feeder dom, so just a good thing to know going in. I didnt realise it at first and was caught off guard, but I looked into it (honestly the whole idea is very new to me so I needed to do this, oops lol I'm vanilla af) & the author then gave it another try with fresh eyes. I liked it more the second try, definitely interested in more work from pangborn in the future!
story 8: three for a funeral by k.s. walker
5/5☆~ fucking AMAZING. by far my favourite of the collection so far. I really want to read more from walker, their way with words & plot is just outstanding and I need more.
story 9: the last disgrace by George Daniel Lea
3/5☆~ pretty good, though maybe a little too literary in a way, for me. I had to keep looking up word meanings, I am but a person with a smaller vocabulary, don't mind me 😅
story 10: the city behind the city by LC Von Hessen
2/5☆~ another one where I am just not literary enough, I think. a few good descriptions, scenes, & dialog, but an ultimately confusing story that I just don't understand.
story 11: therianthrope by briar Ripley page
5/5☆~ this was amazing. visceral & gross in parts & absolutely phenomenal
story 12: macrame flames by Eric raglin
5/5☆~ ok but this was actually really cute, ok. not to everyone, but it feels like a happy ending with love & I'm into that. it'd be fun to get a short little sequel.
story 13: heliogabalus fabulous by Belle tolls
4/5☆~ this one's a trans/gender story and it's kinda sad. I feel like it could've used a little more, generally, but overall I enjoyed it.
