I'm co-reading this with a friend, omg, the first three stories are amazing, and devastating. Your heart is going to be crushed. Each one has a lot to pick apart, especially if it kicks stuff up inside you.

Worth it

It's been awhile since I read this, but being queer, and a fan of horror, it touch my heart to read some soul baring essays on films that really resonated with the authors. It's always good to get a fellow queer's take on films I've put off seeing, or not wanted to see... Also, each author has become a treasure trove of further queer horror reading (and indie presses) for which I am VERY grateful. I've found my people!!! <3
