F*cked Up Stories to Read in the Daytime – Filthy Loot

4 stars

Oh, Filthy Loot, this was exactly what I needed after reading a gut punch of a book earlier today! This book is a small but mighty collection of stories that make you screw up your face and say WTF???

Jillysticks taught me that if you have weird neighbours, it’s best to leave them be. They’re weird for a reason, and you don’t need to be caught up in that! I’m hardcore judging for her being a Days of Our Lives fan, though….All My Children or bust!

Glitterati Guignol was a ride, and probably the one that had me questioning reality the most! Good for Candace, though! It’s always great to see horrible men get what they deserve.

Boning: not sure if the lesson here is ‘if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is’ or ‘be as specific as possible when making wishes or bargains with supernatural entities.’ Maybe both? Both sound good!

The Antecedent: very poetic! I loved the connection with the painting and the irony of how the story ended. No deer in the bed, though….seems highly unsanitary, flower spawning or no.

All the Things She Buried sure escalated quickly! And provided a very valuable lesson on self-fulfilling prophecies and the dangerous cycle you can slip into because of them.

Untitled: I always love a good revenge story. The bloodier, the better, I say!

A Subservient Breed: The Chimpening has arrived, and we are all at the mercy of baboons and unethically modified kidnapped children!

This one was a lot of fun! I can’t wait to explore more of Filthy Loot’s catalogue and see what other gory, whacky things they’ve got!
