And (for me) lots of horror (like really body horror right on the first short story) and that's not fully my jam.
I found some story's amazing and others really not, but overall interesting. So 3.5 is the middle ground for me.

This book has made me become a fan of dark fantasy realism short stories. I fell in love with this book as soon as I read the first line of the first story ‘The Head’.
