Make a Home of Me
by Vanessa Santos
dark
tense
medium-paced
A fantastic collection of psychological horror stories that delve into aspects of domesticity, and being trapped in places that should provide us with comfort.
Favourites included Emily, where our main character gets swept up in a new relationship with a single father of a strangely quiet girl, and Changes, which was too short to really give any detail about but follows a young couple on holiday in a remote seaside town.
A couple didn't really work for me (namely Mouthful and Riverquick, Saltfresh), but the rest all gave me the shivers, and all were written expertly with great pacing and not a word out of place. At this point I practically consider myself a horror short story connoisseur, and this collection did not disappoint for me at all.
Thank you to the publisher for an advance digital copy via Netgalley
