Everyone has different tastes in stories and poetry, so not everything in this anthology will appeal to everyone. I personally found some stories and poems deeply moving and/or interesting, most mildly interesting, and one in particular extremely grating and poorly written. Overall a good read for a queer horror enthusiast.

This was a fun anthology. If you're looking for queer, reexamination of classic ideas or tropes, monsters, genuine horror (looking at you blood creatures), or simply cool new stories from cool new authors, I would definitely recommend this eclectic mix. Every story may not be a hit with you, but there seems to be something for everyone.
Small note on the audiobook. While it was very well done and a great listen, I would probably give another second or two to the pauses between sections, maybe add a second reader just to help delineate. Otherwise, absolutely worth the time!
