These stories were not quite what I had in mind when I sat down with the audio, but it was a fantastic read regardless. Some stories stuck a little better than others, but I liked the variety of ages of the MC's and the differing types of horror.

The gambling concept was wild and I can only imagine how that would play out in a full length novel.
Fruiting Bodies, the story, was far more romantic than it had any right to be. It’s a beautifully gothic twist on idyllic, sapphic cottagecore. Mushrooms that grow from a lover’s body that can both feed and poison. ♥️

Other possible triggers in various stories: a snake, an infant in peril, amputation of multiple limbs, gambling, gambling addiction, graphic description of ingesting animal blood/fat.
