For a fantasy horror book, the most unbelievable thing, was that goths would be transphobic.

Since I clearly wasn’t done traumatizing myself with Playground, I decided to immediately pick this one up to continue the trama train. I love a good anthology and this one definitely did not disappoint. I like that each of the stories was uniquely different from the last and there were even two stories that were kind of even heartwarming in a weird horror way.
