dark mysterious fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I very rarely read body horror and this is not a genre I normally think I'll enjoy but these short stories were real little gems, with the horror creeping in slowly in the most normal environments. We follow several characters - in Argentina - and meet evil children, a woman whose face starts to blur, a woman who doesn't know what to do with her uterus after a hysterectomy, a blogger investigating paranormal events... I found them easy to get into and hard to forget.
