Somebody on YouTube recommended this as a super creepy, disturbing story that will haunt your thoughts. My library had it in and I thought I'd give it a go. It's definitely disturbing and different, but it doesn't haunt my thoughts. It's worth a read, especially during spooky season, if you find it in your library or at a second-hand shop. This edition has a second story that I liked a little more.

Be careful in the woods if you see unusual mushrooms growing….

If this only had The Beauty, I would have rated this higher. The Beauty had be intrigued from the beginning and I loved it.
Peace, Pipe was not my jam at all. It also didn't seem to fit with The Beauty, and seemed an odd choice to pair together.
