"Fruiting Bodies" — Nat's inner (and outer) theater kid is showing. But it works on audio! He says in his intro that it's meant to be read aloud, which is right bc I think I would have disliked it reading it with my eyeballs. 3.75/5 stars

"Meet-Cute #2: The Scariest Thing" — This wasn't horror, but I really liked it. 4/5 stars

"Into the Life of Things" — Um, what? Least fave thing I've read from Nat Cassidy. Literally do not even know what was happening in this story. I think I got it by the end, but it was loooong and v confusing. Maybe it would play better not on audio. 2/5 stars

"Come" — A sex horror story told by an aro-ace teenager. Haunted sex tape. Five stars. 5/5 stars

"Jubilee Juncture" — What, pray tell, the fuck. 4/5 stars

"Run for Your Life" — What an absolute horrendous misuse of time travel. What a dick. He got what he deserved. I'm so mad at this character I don't know what to rate this story. ???/5 stars

"Laughlines" — I think this would have been much creepier reading with my eyeballs instead of listening to the audio. Also, the choice to use email here is a bit weird. Text would have been better. As ever though, unhinged. 4/5 stars

"The Lunar Eclipse" — Um, what. I love you, Nat, but huh? Also the sound effects were weird. 2/5 stars

"The Art of What You Want" — I was listening to this while half asleep last night (my right eye was closing without my permission, and that's always a sign), so I'm not actually sure what happened here. But I was awake enough to know that it was fucked up. Will need to reread but I think four stars for now. 4/5 stars

”Nice” — Unhinged Christmas. 4/5 stars
