Things We Say in the Dark by Kirsty Logan
4.0
If you liked Kirsty Logan's other novels / short stories and don't mind it getting even darker, you might this collection. This is about female fears mostly (that's what it says in the description even though I find ascribing genders to emotions highly dubious), about bodies, desire, children, motherhood, and the darkness within. Especially the stories about becoming or a being a mother were scary in parts.
Things that are generally perceived as good and desirable are deconstructed and made wrong. These aren't really horror stories even though some stories have elements of it in them.
As always it's really hard to describe the content of Kirsty Logan stories. Parts were like fairy tales gone wrong, nightmares or supernatural hauntings. I did enjoy reading them even though they were scary in parts and incredibly violent.
4 Stars because some stories felt as if a bit more would have given it more depth.
