4.25

The Husband Stitch (4.5 Stars)
Folktales meet bodily autonomy
 
Inventory (3.5 Stars)
The reveal is cool and this made me somber

Raising a child through abuse

Especially Heinous (DNF)
This felt very out of place and difficult if you aren't a huge SVU fan

Real Women Have Bodies (5 Stars)
My favorite. Hurt me in my deepest soul

Eight Bites (4.5 Stars)
Having a body is horror

The Resident (5 Stars)
Felt like I was reading Shirley Jackson, which I loved.
"What if you colonize your own mind and when you get inside, the furniture is attached to the ceiling?"
