Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke

This was....fine? It has a lot of good aspects. I liked the format and the concept, and obviously that is a great cover. The line “What have you done today to deserve your eyes?” is great! Very eerie and memorable. And of course, I always love when horror is inclusive and written by diverse voices, but...I don't know, it lacked something. Maybe it was the short length working against it, but even with the suspension of disbelief paired with the characterization of both women being lonely, the relationship escalated too fast. It also felt like one person writing to themselves rather than two people having a conversation.

I dunno, it wasn't bad and the writing was (gruesomely) beautiful at times, but overall...shrug. 3 apple peelers out of 5.
