Scissor Sisters
by April Yates, Rae Knowles
Be gay, do crimes.
As with any anthology, there is a variation of enjoyment and interest throughout the collection, sometimes polarisingly so. Whilst described as a sapphic horror, I found it was mostly about sex. Pretty much every story had smut, which wasn't what I was expecting and became irritating when it happened again and again, although I admit some had a poetic quality.
My favourite stories were "Gladys glows at night", "you outta be in pictures", "Teratoma, Cacodaemon, Erinya", and "Gingerbread red" (which was weird ngl).
Overall, this was one of the more enjoyable anthologies that I've read, but I would've preferred to focus more on horror than fucking. Thank you to netgalley for the arc.
