I was so excited about this anthology and I'm so glad it didn't disappoint! Although some short stories didn't work as well as short stories as I would have hoped so, overall it was a great dark, horror short story collection featuring Asian authors, characters and folklore. I'm gonna try to talk about my top three favourite stories in no paticular order:
1) A Pet is for Life was really mindblowing. I loved the use of the Kuchisake Onna and the story's twist and exploration.
2) Fury despite being a story and a world I would have originally thought would work better as a whole length book, it worked very well as a short story that had a beginning, middle and an end.
3) Little Worm was something that when I started reading it I didn't think I'd enjoy it but it proved me wrong.
