I liked some of the stories but most of the stories weren’t body horror. Muzzle is the best example in my opinion of body Horror. Lots of the stories were just horror or just weird.
It wasn’t my favourite but there definitely were some good stories, some of my favourites included: muzzle, the chair of tranquility, scarlet ribbons and dancing with mirrors.
