I did end up finishing it, even though the Child's Play essay had me so upset I didn't even want to read the last two. I did mostly enjoy this collection, and genuinely would love a second one, but I'm knocking a full star off for how upsetting and exploitative Will Stockton's essay was. Anyone who talks about their child (foster child or otherwise) that way should not be caring for children. Full stop. I suggest skipping his essay entirely. Otherwise, I do really love hearing what other queer people have to say about horror and how they relate to it.
