Good Night, Sleep Tight by Brian Evenson

These stories are so strange and unsettling. They all managed to remind me of The Twilight Zone. There's a decent mix of horror and science fiction, and all of them are thought-provoking in their own way. All of the stories have similar themes but told in different ways, such as what it means to be human, servitude and slavery, childhood fears, and climate change. Brian Evenson is a talented writer and I am definitely gonna be reading more of his writing.
