Scissor Sisters by April Yates, Rae Knowles
3.0

My 3 star rating is because of personal preferences. I am NOT a dark fantasy person and the purple/romantic prose that it is usually associated with the genre does not appeal to me. And I'd say about a 1/3rd of this collection was Dark Fantasy. There's also a lot of erotica, cannibalism, and murder. Sometimes all three combined. The lagniappe at the end by Eric Raglin was a fun story but had basically nothing to do with the overall theme, and I think that space could've been used for another story by BIPOC or a woman-identifying author.

That said, I enjoyed the more contemporary stories and the Gothic.

My favorites:
You Oughta Be In Pictures by Anastasia Dziekan
Conversations with Roe by Alex Luceli Jiménez
The Turner House Heritage Tour by Caitlin Marceau
