“Wandering Devil” by Caldwell Turnbull successfully discusses the inner turmoil of breaking unhealthy generational trauma/ties -in Freddy’s case, he battles the desire to leave everything he loves behind, as it’s easier than staying and settling down. A little more boring of the three short stories I’ve read so far, but I enjoyed the underlying meaning despite the redundancy.

“Eye and Tooth” by Rebecca Roanhorse is definitely the kind of horror I enjoy to read regularly. It was extremely well written and suspenseful to the extent that I almost wish we were offered this story in more of a novel format, rather than a feature in a short story anthology. These stories are feeling as though they were meant to have longer adaptations. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
