    I received an advance reader copy at no charge. This is my honest and voluntary review.

    When I began Something Followed Us Home, my game plan was to keep track of my favorite stories in order to shout them out. I quickly realized that strategy wouldn't work because there was so much to love.

    Reading this anthology feels like you're a ship being tossed on waves from one story to the next, with works ranging in tone from somber, compelling, revolting, strange, and heartbreaking to uniquely funny. I never knew what awaited me with the next author and story, only that I very much wanted to complete the journey to find out.

    As a lover of horror: I really enjoyed the exploration of demonic posession working alongside the depiction of a painful absence of autonomy, the ways in which the past refuses to let us go, and the violence it takes to carve out something new for ourselves.

    There was plenty to like, but the pace was an issue for me. I did feel like the first half was setting us up for the drama and satisfaction of what was to come. But it definitely dragged in places.

    With that said, I still enjoyed myself as tension built and character motivations shifted into place. It didn't occur to me to DNF because I felt everything coming together (and loved the payoff) but it was enough of an issue that it couldn't make it to a 5 star read for me.

    I started reading this in earnest last night and ended up staying awake until 1 in the morning to work on it 😳

    According to my sleuthing (searching on my kindle) the phrase "eyebrows beetled" is used 9 times. 9! Enough for me to be like, do my eyebrows do that??
