*Thank you to Off Limits Press for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.*
I have never seen anything quite like these three interconnected novellas. I wasn’t sure how three stories could be connected and yet so different. Each story is a totally different sub-genre of horror. I think having each story be so different from each other, but still be related to one another, shows real talent from the author.
It’s easy to stick to one sub-genre and shine in that area, but to expand your horizons and really push yourself to try different styles is brave.
I also think having three different stories allows for readers to find something they like, everyone will have different opinions on each one and will hopefully be able to connect with at least one of them.
I personally loved the first story the most, it was creepy and the perspective it was told from really added to the atmosphere. I would love to see this author do more with creepy dolls because I would definitely read it.
The second story was like nothing I had ever read. It was weird, unsettling, and gross in a way that I would never have imagined. Not something I would typically gravitate towards, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
The third story was probably my least favorite, I didn’t dislike it, I just personally thought it didn’t compare to other two, but I still enjoyed it and thought it was an interesting story to end on.
Overall, really pleased with this one and would love to read more from this author in the future!
