After enjoying Our Wives Under the Sea, I was eager to pick up more from Julia Armfield. This collection of short stories delivers on the same eerie, unsettling atmosphere, reminiscent of Black Mirror. The stories themselves varied in quality for me. 'Mantis' was a particular standout, and 'The Great Awake' was absolutely captivating – I'd devour a full novel based on that premise in a heartbeat.
