4 stars. A very fun and dark collection of horror novellas. Sapphics and horror will always grab my attention so I was excited to pick this up and I can say that it definitely deliver. There were some duds in here but the ones that were good were really damn good. My favorites were:

-‘Beautiful Eyes’ by Selina Shaw - My favorite of the collection. This was bad ass and graphic. A woman sets out to hurt the man who hurt her best friend whom she has a crush on. The writing was fantastic and the story was so incredibly unhinged.
-‘Mama Always Said’ by Ocean - It was the writing style of this one that really did it for me. The plot was good as well but Ocean’s writing really made it stand out in the bunch.
-‘Red String’ by Alisha Kelley - This one was so fucked. I loved it. Easily my second favorite in the collection as the ending had me flinching and squirming. I was SHOOK.
-’Walled In’ by Ann Hagan - The plot twists in this were really good and I did not see it coming. Also, that ending was really good. I need to read more by Hagan asap.

Overall, this was a really good collection and I think there is something for everyone if you’re in the mood for some spooky and sometimes fucked up quick reads.

I'm not a horror lover. I've read a few of the stories. It'll take me awhile to get through them all. (I did read TJ Dallas's first). But the stories are first rate, the writing provocative and scary! Even if you don't like horror, take your time reading it. You'll be able to get through it. If you like horror, you'll really enjoy this book. Remember the proceeds go to GCLS! 5 stars!

This horror anthology starts with a bang, and the shockingness doesn't let up. While all the stories ae scary in one way or another, some are more intense or shocing than others. Some had unexpected twists. The editor, Anne Hagan, said she broadened the premises of the genre and it worked. These 11 stories run the gamut of scariness.

Tangled psychological suspense and horror shorts with intriguing sapphic characters.

If you hated your ex, you might want her to end up in one of these scenarios - or you might recognize her as the horror that has been haunting you.

Intense and macabre

Perfect

I brilliant mix of chilling stories that will make you questions those sounds you hear in the middle of the night.

I read this after a recommendation from one of the included authors, T.J. Dallas. The stories were brilliantly dark and fun to read at end of October.

TJ Dallas' story was something else... like damn.
