âĻð my about / byf / CW info carrd: uchiha-madara ð âĻ
I wanted to love this. I kinda just liked it instead, with mild hate to 'wounded' for tactless use of csa plot points. I felt at times the writing was a little weak, but when it was good, it dunks your brain into creepy crawly juice. This was fairly heavy on traumatic topics and gross out horror, which I'm not personally keen on. All the same I'd rec this if you want some good indigenous horror.
It was certainly a creepy, freaky, gross, terrifying assortment of tales. My fave was 'Imitate' because I adore a good Changeling story.
