Reading Vita Nostra by Marina & Sergey Dyachenko, along with Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz when I need a break from Vita Nostra's slow pacing.

Finished:

No One Will Come Back for Us by Premee Mohamed (fantasy and cosmic-y horror short stories) | bingo: minority author, alliterative, short HM

I don't really have a description for this one. A few of the stories have a shared setting; a few others have a war/revolution theme.

None of the stories in this were bad, they just didn't all appeal to me; the shared-setting ones were coincidentally my favorite. I've realized that part of my issue with collections/anthologies is that I'm stuck diving in blind for every single story, hoping that the author/theme is enough to carry my interest.
