Boring. Uninspired. In some places objectively stupid.

Not horror, just icky. Not dark, just with mental illness.
First story is about two people with obvious mental illness performing some form of BDSM relationship, but its just icky tasks. Completely unbelievable in the way the characters wrote and they both sounded the same; so much flourish in what is supposed to be casual personal emails, it almost feels like both of the characters are authors.

With a ridiculous message trying to sound profound.
Each story succeeded only in pissing me off by their respective end and finishing only out of spite. Its hard to pick a worst. I honestly reset my brain at the start of each one, went in wanting to like it. I kept thinking, hoping that the author would give something more. Something more that what was obviously going to happen in each story. Something horror more than just the occasional "ew".
