This started slow for me, but after the first reveal that all these stories are connected (although some rather loosely) I couldn’t put it down. I would say these stories are less horrifying and more unsettling, but a quick enjoyable read nonetheless.

I am so lost I don't even know what to rate this book. did I enjoy it? I don't think feeling disturbed and puzzled can count as having fun. not in my case anyway. but is it a good book? I mean, yes. it's definitely well written, and the way the individual stories can be read as standalones but are somehow related to one another is pretty genius. but honestly what the actual heck.
