These Wounds We Make by Gemma Amor
4.0
dark

"Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
 
These Wounds We Make is a collection of 13 supernatural horror stories. From a raging ghost looking for his dog to annoying neighbours to a rat girl to a mysterious guardian angel, these stories are creepy and unsettling. I enjoyed Gemma's last collection, Cruel Works of Nature, so I had high expectations for this one and it delivered. 
 
This was a solid collection of stories with themes of vengeance, restitution, and redemption. They were harrowing and compelling, and once again, I loved the illustrations Gemma added at the beginning of each story. My favourites included:
 
πŸ€ Have You Seen My Dog?
πŸ€ I Am Ghost
πŸ€ Cell Block B
πŸ€ The Strangler
πŸ€ How Not to Get Rid of a Body
