Not as dark or sinister as I hoped from my love SJ! The Lottery was obvs the highlight, and the others showed the sinister and uncanny undertones of suburban American life - some were pretty insidiously horrific but a lot of them didn’t grab or unsettle me as much as I hoped 

My faves were The Lottery, the Daemon Lover, and the Renegade
