I enjoyed many stories within this anthology, such as High Maintenance, Why We Keep Exploding, The Divine Carcass, and The Simulacrum. These, among other stories in the collection, were able to bring forth many interesting anxieties in a fantastical way, which I really enjoyed. Despite this, as with every short story collection, there were some stories that fell flat for me and many that were simply fine. I think that if many of the stories were given more room to breath they would have been much more effective, but as they are not they brought up really interesting ideas and failed to really utilize them, especially for horror purposes. I think that many of the stories could have been cut in order to give their space to other stories. Overall, I really enjoyed the reading experience as a whole.
