“things have gotten worse” is def the star out of the three, even tho it is the most nauseating one - don’t think the others are really worth the read but they’re quick at least so I don’t feel like my time was completely wasted

This is my first time reading from this author and I'm hooked. Two women meet online when one of them is selling some kind of family heirloom and they start a bizarre romance. I loved the building up of this gross sapphic dominant/submissive fucked up horror story. I had no idea where it was going to go.

3.75

I really don't know how to rate this... I just rated each of the individual stories in the book and averaged the ratings.
Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke - 3 stars
The Enchantment - 4.5 stars
You'll Find It's Like That All Over - 4 stars
The average doesn't exactly come out to 3.75, but it's close enough to what that average is. But anyway, I don't really want to say that I enjoyed this, because enjoy is definitely not what I felt while reading this. It was still really good, though! Things Have Gotten Worse was a lot to digest, and I also don't know if I want to? It's just a very complicated reading experience, but it was still really good! The last two stories were really good too, and I liked those even more than the first one. I think that's because, while I thought Things Have Gotten Worse was really good, I didn't really enjoy the reading experience. I had more fun with the other two. That being said, I really, really liked it! I definitely want to read everything this author writes! I have a very complicated relationship to horror, where I like reading it, but I don't necessarily enjoy reading it. I don't think I'm explaining it very well, but this book fit very snuggly into that for me. However, I really liked it, and would recommend it (at least to people who like this kind of thing and have looked at the trigger warnings!!!).

the stories were interesting, I could do without the second one. But, going in not knowing anything, especially about the “Things have gotten worse…” story I was intrigued by the set up and somewhat surprised it wasn’t a true story
