Horror short stories are a must for autumn. This is the third of her collections Iāve read and they're all so solid. Not a dud in there!

Iāve loved a good weird, creepy, and/or magical story ever since I first read The Bloody Chamber. Here ās a few I recommend:
Stranger things happen - Kelly link white cat, black dog - Kelly Link her Body and Other Parties - Carmen Maria Machado The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories - Angela Carter the Dangers of Smoking in Bed - Mariana EnrĆquez When Things get dark - Edited by Ellen Datlow The Frangipani Hotel - Violet Kupersmith

My favourite short stories tend to be creepy or magical. I think due to the necessary open-endedness of short stories, it lends itself most to mystery and magic.
Angela Carterās Bloody Chamber is a great classic creepy feminist story to start with. Carmen Maria Machadoās The Husband Stitch continued Carterās legacy Iām a HUGE Kelly Link fan, but her stuff is very strange so might not be for everyone, but my favourite of hers is probably The Specialistās hat or Skinderās Veil Shirley Jacksonās The Lottery is also a classic, and if you like creepy stories and want a good overview of writers in that genre, I recommend the collection āWhen Things Get Darkā, a collection inspired by the tone of Jacksonās work; it features Kelly link, Carmen Maria Machado, Joyce Carol Oates, and loads of contemporary short story writers. I discovered the story Tiptoe by Laird Barron through this and its possibly my favourite creepy short story, it sent full shivers down my spine in a way no other story had.

āØMy friends would say that my type is medium ugly but truly I go for kindness over anything, and have no physical type - itās all about kindness and understanding. If someone makes me feel comfortable in their company by being patient and non-judgmental, and being emotionally open and communicative, then i am way more likely to be attracted to them - kindness is whatās sexy to me, nothing to do with actual looks.
Remember, sexy is subjective. e.g, abs on a man do nothing for me, Iād much rather a dad bod even on a physical only level. Beauty standards are made up and strange. And often times, itās charisma, humour and kindness that make me feel that someone has sexy energy.
