5.0

Truly masterful storytelling I think “Inventory” and “Mothers” are my favorites but every story is excellent. “Especially Heinous” oddly enough reminds me of that [adult swim] late night short “Unedited Footage of a Bear”. Really chilling stuff. Already looking forward to reading more from this author.
