*skipped let the old dreams die as I want to re-read Let The Right One In.

To Hold You While The Music Plays: 3/5
Seems like abstract work of Poe (unreliable narrator) and might need more imagination.

My interpretation is when your spouse joined a cult and this is what they would tell you.

Eternal/Love.

A bit mixed feeling, this is really long (or feels long?) but I love the description in the beginning about two people in love, it's not necessarily about future, or let go of past, it's about "want to stay like this forever". But then of course the comes next (pregnancy, your husband's weird new friend, old gods)

Might give it a 4/5, but there are a lot of unecessary edging.

Subtitute: 4.5/5

Giving 1 extra star because this is probably the funniest story so far. Involves juvenile delinquency, a teacher singing The Wall by Pink Floyd (!!!), "what a life for a fourteen years old"

Anyway a lot of element of surprise, you don't know where the story is going as you turn the page. My second favorite I guess after Border (so far)

You can't see it! It doesn't exist! (Also known as Itsy Bitsy)

2/5. Damn. It took so long to finish, the pace was too slow, the story is quite cliche (what you see on photos and reality is different). Might my attention span, or because it's working day already. But anyway, not his strongest.

Equinox: 4.5/5
I don't understand the ending. BUT the build up was so good 😭 utterly terrified in some parts. Shame, guilt, fear, bajingan lah pokoknya.

Finished first story: Border.
4.5/5 idk who are Tina and Vore, troll(?) Never been said explicitly, but there's MPREG; touching scene when they hid together during thunderstorm. Kicking blanket >_<
