This story was interesting. It didn’t gross me out as much as Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
The twist is that the short story and poems were supposed to have been written by different people that Martyr Black had killed, but the voice and reoccurring imagery throughout feels like the same author. Unless he edited the pieces or picked them because he liked the originality and he's drawn to that imagery?
I liked the poems, but the short story "You've Lost A Lot of Blood" was ok. It was kind of predictable. I liked the imagery and idea of it, though it uses one of my least favorite tropes.
