it was ok


The Head �1.5
What the fuck did I just read? This didn't make sense but more than that, this DISGUSTED ME. Why write this? For what? For WHY? The writing isn't bad but the subject matter is grotesque.

The Embodiment �
I can get behind the discussion of how messed up it is that babies are considered worthless and damaged beyond repair if they don't have a father or male figure to grow up with. Also, the discussion of how men choose is they want to be a father but women have no choice if their the babies mother. In the eyes of society and the law anyway. But this left me feeling icky inside. Not something I want to read about.

Cursed Bunny �
I was ready to DNF after this one. This is pointless and confusing. What a long way of saying that you shouldn't spread hate because it will consume you.

The Frozen Finger �
Okay, allllllllright. This one had potential. It is eerie, atmospheric, and unsettling. Confusing though. But I actually really enjoyed it........dammnit.

Snare �3.5
Godammnit! I liked this one. It's about greed and how everything has a price. I was gasping at the twists in this short story.

Goodbye, My Love �
I did not see a 4 star rating coming for this book but here we are. This is an episode of Black Mirror. This is the kind of scifi horror I'm looking for. Also, the tie-in with the song was so eerie and beautiful.

Scars �
There is absolutely no reason this needed to be this damn long. And all this misery for what? He overcomes the evil so easily and then the story just ends and I am confused and unsatisfied.

Home Sweet Home �2.5
Again, too long. I needed more backstory on the child and less about the juice empire and the debts and the psycho caller. All of those things should have been footnotes. The child was relevant and interesting but she got pushed to the back burner which is a real shame.

Ruler of the Winds and Sands � 2.5
This is just sad tbh. She tried so hard and was so kind. But she gets fucked over in the end obviously. Such is the male dominated world.

Reunion � ?
Skim read it and didn't find a single thing to care about.

Maggie Okay, I just read The Head and am honestly confused. Wtf?!


Laura Yep - in agreement.


Steph i think your take on "the embodiment" is wrong - to me, it is a about how terrible it is that women are blamed & belittled if they are not married mothers. the story is not a comment on babies & children but rather the unfair & terrible pressures society puts on women.


Andreu Nail on the head. I’ll be honest, I came here to read reviews to see if I should add this to the DNF list myself. I still have The Cursed Bunny and Reunion to read. I’ll be back to awkwardly add an additional comment once I’ve finished them.


Kristian Plat Thank you for putting my thoughts into words for every single one of these stories


Jessica Robbs I stopped after she got pregnant from birth control pills. This was just ridiculous. The first story was disgusting.


Roberto I actually quite liked the head and the embodiment. It was all the others that started to be longwinded and frankly a bit boring
