I give a 4.5 for the first story, but the others didn't do it for me quite as much.

i think a lot of shock horror doesn’t work too well for me so while the first story was extremely gripping, the end was a little lackluster for me and made it my least favorite of the bunch. tense throughout and interesting themes brought up. i love every story having to do with human connection on some level.

Dissapointing. I actually really enjoyed the main epistolary novella, but the other two stories dragged the rating down quite sharply. They were very dull and flat in comparison even if they shared a common theme of attempts at human connection.
