3.5
This is hard for me to rate because I wasn't impressed by the first few stories at all, but then the back half of the book really struck a chord.
A lot of it is just like, there's a supernatural thing, it's motivated/exacerbated by a societal thing, and there's a silly Goosebumps twist at the end that totally deflates whatever point you thought was being made. But as the book goes on, the spooky edgy stuff starts to fall away & the stories become more fabular, more earnest with their allegory, & there's just generally a bit more to chew on.
