5.0
A genre-bending novel tucked between gritty and visceral novellas that push the limits of literature.
The collection includes the speculative sci-fi "Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones", boarding school obsession in "The Chaser", and claustrophobic "The Masker", insulating the title story "Stag Dance" of an illegal logging outfit in the isolated mountainside.
Horrifying, atmospheric, and a triumph of storytelling, this is a must read for 2025.
