Dark, twisted, weird, thought provoking, an extraordinary set of short stories. I’ve always found short story collections to be uneven, there are always stories that don’t quite hit the mark, but not here. From haunted tv’s, ghostly best friends, & witches attempting initiation into a coven there are stories for all horror lovers here.

I’m excited to read more from this author.

A fantastic debut! There are some stories that are absolutely going to fester in my brain for weeks. This collection spans so many different horror tropes, from witches to creepy dolls and some truly original ideas, these stories radiate with sadness, longing, and righteous anger. I will be looking out for everything this author writes going forward, for sure.

I found this collection of stories very engaging and atmospheric to read. I felt like the emotions of each story leapt from the text and filled me with emotion, whether that be melancholy, horror, or dread. My only criticism is I felt at times the stories favored description over plot - but if you are someone who enjoys atmosphere building as much as plot I believe that you will enjoy this collection!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an E-ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. They all had unique concepts from one another and brought in different themes and elements. There were some stories that I wasn't particularly drawn to but some I really loved. I feel like this collection really showcases Washington's skill as a writer in the way she was able to put so much love and effort into each story. I will definitely be reading more from Washington. I recommend this!

Beautifully written short stories that leave you thinking. I'm quite shocked that this is a debut, and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC
