I have... many many questions. Most of them starting with "What the fuck??" These were some very trippy and disturbing short stories, all centered around different mothers and their children. I've been craving horror for a while now and this certainly a good book for a quick fix. I'll rate each story individually and hopefully you'll give this book a read as well!

(But we like weird here)

Georgie Stephanie- I was very very confused at first but once you reach the ending, that eureka moment hits and then you're disturbed and very sad. 9/10

Flesh of My Flesh- IIIIIII don't think I totally get what this one was about but it was still a bit sad and unsettling. 6/10

Till Death Do Us Part- Now THIS one was creepy and also all too real. An abusive relationship a woman doesn't feel like she can escape from. I'm not sure how to interpret the ending or even what even happens to Jimmy in the first place but it was still moderately satisfying ending. 8/10

Bloodline- Nothing like a creepy family with creepy rules and secrets to keep a reader interested! It's hard to say much about this story without giving it all away, so that one sentence shall have to suffice. 8/10
