Makes me uncomfortable (but I like it)

If you are someone who likes short stories that are thrilling and keep you guessing what will happen next, this is great for you.
Something to note is that each story contains LGBTQ+ couples, but it is a detail rather than the focus of the story. I find it tastefully not overwhelming the stories but rather as a nice anecdote.

Disturbing in good way

The way how author is portraying psychology of characters and they peculiar behavior is amazing, I was so absorbed by story so I did not notice when audiobook is over. Style of writing of author and actors voice was really pleasant. I definitely recommend this book.

Fantastic!!

the narration was amazing and the voices fit well with each story. the writing was incredibly detailed with enough substance not to bore you. the plot of each story was so unexpected! the journey from start to finish was a solid 10/10
