The Broken Darkness by Theresa Braun
2.0
DNFed at 55% (8 stories in) - was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review, so here are my thoughts.
This is a collection of 13 short stories all based around occult themes and practitioners.
Not particularly great but not awful either - no one story really jumped out at me as being great and none stayed with me after finishing. The writing in each was average, but there were many slurs including "lame"and "demented" (insultingly), as well as calling people "lunatic", "nutcase", etc. (all extremely outdated words and imply mental illness with violent tendencies which is inaccurate in each of the cases they were used). Mostly just very average and was a slog to get through what I did.
