This is one that I'm not sure how to rate–it's billed as “tales of everyday horror” and I think these absolutely are horror stories. But I...had hoped that they wouldn't be? I was hoping for something that skewed more funny and less horror-y. And I mean, it is funny, and has some Extremely Ortberg turns of phrase. But also I couldn't read this before bed (as is my custom) because it was really fucking me uppp

Which speaks to the power of the writing, but also I DON'T LIKE THAT.
