I really enjoyed this folk horror anthology. Each story was distinct and ranged in degrees of scariness. The Tallest Poppy was my favorite piece and if you are a Shirley Jackson fan it will likely also be your favorite as Chloe Gong’s writing reminded me of the great gothic writer’s. I don’t know why it took me so long to pick this one up, but it would be a great addition to a Halloween tbr!
