Lullabies for Suffering is a powerful anthology of 6 stories surrounding addiction. They are raw and emotional as you read about characters struggling with addiction, real life horrors, and their day to day lives. Each story focuses on a different addiction as it comes in all forms - drugs, alcohol, pain, etc. Each story is beautifully written and packs a gut-wrenching punch. I couldn't pick just one quote so I decided to share one from each story.
 
"The same happens to everyone. Even if you're known in life, we're all strangers in death." - Kealan Patrick Burke 

"What you need and what you want are two different things and having your needs met isn't as good as getting what you want, but getting what you want can ruin you." - Caroline Kepnes 

"She was shedding her addiction, slithering out of her old casing like a snake, or better yet, a caterpillar in a cocoon waiting to grow wings and fly off to a glorious garden. Somehow the world hadn't destroyed her." - Mark Matthews 

"Pain is a gateway, I was understanding. And I was simply unable to get through the opening cutting afforded me. It offered me a peephole. I needed a window." - John FD Taff 

"Yeah, addiction is everywhere. The world is rough, so we become addicted to social media. We become addicted to booze or porn. We get addicted to money and sex and lying. We become addicted to a million things that help us escape reality." - Gabino Iglesias 

"Love was a crematorium that lit you up and burned you out at the same time." - Mercedes M. Yardley
