this is a short book with a collection of short stories, where each story had a theme of 'something unwelcome in the home'. it helped a lot with getting me back into reading after not reading for fun in years (due to school + having adhd).
some of the critiques on this book are from 1) many things being left unsaid/unexplained and 2) it wasn't 'scary enough'. so i think you'd have a better experience if you're okay with mysterious endings or you prefer to read books that are more 'subtly' eerie.
vvv highly recommend ! she has three collections of short stories, one of which just released, as well as a novel, which is one of my favorite things i’ve ever read!
v haunting and infused w esoteric themes
Nothing annoys me more about the American culture than the lack of enthusiasm. If I invite you to go somewhere and your answer is “sure” or “why not”, I’m taking it back. I do not wanna be surrounded by indifferent people. It’s unworthy.
