Sometimes it felt like it's messaging was too heavy-handed, as if lacking faith in the reader, but I suppose it's understandable considering the subject matters (and the author afterword).
Overall, really don't regret picking up this book and I can't wait to recommend it to fellow horror fans.

But please, don't make the same mistake as me. Do not read the afterword.
And DEFINITELY check content warnings!
