Things have gotten worse since we last spoke:
3 🌟 Was as gross as people said it was, so that's great? Certainly an interesting read, to say the least. It also made me feel quite uncomfortable. So so so so so weird - please don't read if you don't like
The Enchantment:
2 🌟 Felt a little slow although it certainly wasn't. I think I wasn't fully concentrating when reading this so I missed a few core details that left me confused for the duration of the short story. I'm not sure if I was a big fan of how supernatural it was because I felt it jumped around a lot. Please don't read if you have trauma around or are sensitive to the mentions of
You'll find that it's like that all over:
1 🌟 So, soooo boring. I think that the meaning could've been carried out in a different way. I also think that

Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke was certainly the star of the show and the other two stories were just not it. I wish I could be more positive about this book but it was just not very fulfilling.

The other stories were dark and sad though I won’t say they’ll be nearly as memorable to me.

- Älskar formatet med utdrag av chattkonversationer och mail i 1:a novellen. Gör att vilken text som helst känns mer lättläst.
- Älskar att det lämnas mycket för tolkning och spekulation.
- Älskar att det hela tiden ligger en tryckande känsla av obehag genom alla 3 novellerna.
- Älskar författarens skrivsätt.
- Varför parasiter?! Hujedamig.
- Uppskattar mindre sonens dödsfall i 2:a novellen då den verkar OMÖJLIG. Men alla har artistisk frihet, jag kan bara inte se hur det är möjligt?
