4.0

Dark and chilling, I read this anthology as an audiobook, and I highly recommend doing the same. The stories included varied a lot, in style, content, theme, and even how much I enjoyed them, but as a whole, this was a really good, really compelling read.

Some of the stories stuck with me deeply, still haunting me, even now, days after I finished them. 

My favourites included: 

• Kushtuka - Mathilda Zeller
• White Hills - Rebecca Roanhorse
• Navajos Don’t Wear Elk Teeth - Conley Lyons
• Behind Colin’s Eyes - Shane Hawk
• The Prepper - Morgan Talty
• Collections - Amber Blaeser-Wardzala 

In some cases, I’d read some of the authors’ precious works, but for the most part, they were new to me, so I’m excited to have stumbled onto new authors to explore!

Since this is horror and dark fiction, some pretty tough topics are covered, so I do recommend looking up trigger warnings before reading.
