Story 1: 3 ⭐
Was okay but a little too short
Story 2: 3 ⭐
Was unsettling but I'm not sure how I feel about the "abuse"-topic for it could be really triggering especiall with the detailed descriptions
Story 3: 3,5 ⭐
Quite nice, but too short for a propper world building, for it was a bit confusing. Think it would be good as a novel rather that a short story. Good characters and as far as I see it, Six could be autistic? (Update: recently learned that the characters are from one of her books and that makes so much sense!)
Story 4: 2,5 ⭐
Meh...was okay
Story 5: 3,25 ⭐
Quite liked it, wanted to rate ist 3,5 but the ending disappointed a little (not the plottwist but the very end)
Story 6: 4 ⭐
Liked it, would be a great movie, expeciall the parts where he tells about what happened at the farm (and the plottwist!)
Story 7: 4 ⭐
Loved the writing and had a really thrilling atmosphere. It also would be a great (A24) movie
Story 8: 1,75 ⭐
Way to much sexual content for my liking, also my gut turned at the part that seemed to be rape (I don't see how this is necessary as an element of horror.)
All in all the rating is 3,125 and I rounded it up to 3,25 because overall I enjoyed reading the book. Also, I know now that I like anthologies!!
