I appreciate that the main character is so involved in the plot. She’s scaring me a lot though.

Glad to know incels were also a thing back in the 1800s and women were just as annoyed with them

The narrator is so dumb, it’s funny

Odile is killing me. She’s not careful at ALL and it’s this terrible suspense.

This is very fast paced after reading so much literary

Delicious world building

I’m confused and this character is annoying lol

I got too comfortable with the paranormal horror and now the story is nosediving in a scarier direction

HAHAHA

Making the scariest horror scene about idiot white people is funny

It’s been a long time since I read something that I’m worried about reading before bed because it’s creepy

I seriously can’t give this enough praise

Bakers writes such amazing monologues

This book is incredible

Turning religious imagery into horror, so real

I appreciate the way the pacing is slowly picking up. More characters are becoming important and Cora may be learning to make friends. And the mystery is starting to form as well.

The main characters thoughts are getting very repetitive. I think something needs to happen that breaks up the constant “the human body is so delicate and I see brains on the walls and death is everywhere” thing. I’m not sick of the main character yet but I will be soon if we don’t have a change of pace.

That monologue about video games was so good

Casualties of Art: 3/5 stars. I enjoyed the complexity of the character and the commentary about insecure men becoming incels. But, the scenes did really drag on due to the voice purposefully being insufferable. The other stories just did insufferable characters better.

“I wonder if they realize their decision to immigrate inadvertently fucked up my love life.” Truly an incel.

I know the narrator is supposed to be unlikeable but god he is annoying

The manipulation is so subtle

While the perspective is interesting this story is boring compared to the others

Ohhh he’s an Incel hahaha

The dollhouse: 5/5 stars. I would start sobbing if I wasn’t at work.

An important thing about people pleasing: it does inconvenience others even if that’s counterintuitive

Happy endings: 5/5 stars. This is very dark and I appreciate it for that. This story is uncomfortable and that’s very effective for the messaging.

This is kind of terrifying
