I know I’m not the target audience, but I thoroughly enjoyed this story.

It had everything I could possibly want: black humor, body horror, Lovecraftian darkness, shame, guilt, love, sex, death…

One of my favorite things was how chronically online the main character was. That cracked me up so much.

This book wasn’t exceptionally bad, but I find myself struggling to come up with a single positive

I really love Hailey Piper's writing. This is my second book of hers and won't be the last. With this one, there were a few parts that lost me, but I loved it overall. The ending was incredibly beautiful.

What a fucking shitty book. I’m not even going to bother writing a review.

Started off great and went bad past the first act. If it had kept the momentum, it could've easily been a 4 star book.

There were things I absolutely loved. There were things I absolutely hated.

I love Shirley Jackson's writing. The reader never quite knows what the expect. My only criticism is that the ending is a bit quick and not super climactic, but with all of her stories it's more about the journey than the destination.

This book scared the crap out of me when I was young. Still loved it though.

I love Matt Ruff's style and the beginning was super compelling but the ending was a total clusterfuck to be completely honest. I was torn between giving this is 3 or 4, so for the sake of being nice I'll round up. Super quick read if you're looking to burn through something on a weekend.

This short story was very ironic. A little...too ironic?

No, but seriously nice Twilight Zone-esque tale here. Just enough amount of humor and pain. The epilogue was icing on the cake.

It took me a long time to read this. The premise is interesting and the characters are great, but it's just so bloated. I feel like 2/3 of the book could be cut out and it would be the same story. Big Jim Rennie is an all-time SK villain. Ending is silly. Blah blah, I won't go on...
