I love the thrilling disturbing and gory narratives, think the author did well with this collection too. Few stories that caught my attention:\n\nMagic!\nHorrific revenge story although you could guess on the twist, still it gave me such horror and nervousness. Remember to always pay up when you hired someone for a service\u002Fwork. Karma bites horrendously. \n\nOur Dad's Girlfriend\nDisturbing, might a bit creepy too. Love that it combined technology and gruesome stuff. Well engaging characters. \nT\nhe Things I Can Do To You With A Crowbar\nUncomfortable and grisly narrative but weirdly appealing. The most squeamish out of all. \n\nCans\nThis was slightly playful (?) and creepy at the same time. \n\nU-Turn\nLove the idea of dream sequence and parallel dimension. The sudden ending making me wanting it more. \n\nMost twists were expected but perhaps the writer's enthralling way of presenting his stories making it more enjoyable to me. Fast-paced narratives (most of it) also I love the diversity of ideas although some were common, it was still intriguing.",3,"none","rv-01kr83y482n6mngf79kwn2haqj",[],"2026-05-10T04:57:09.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":75,"per_page":76,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":21},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kr83y2a1fjpkah5wmdwnrjer\u002Freviews",20]
