The stories in this book are short, but the fiction is punctual and visceral. It is effective in what it sets out to do, seducing the reader with the darker sides of sexuality.
I am not female myself, however I still enjoy this book.
Did a better job building up suspense than most games I played, and I always love a horror game that doesn't just blast the loudest audio you've ever heard into your ears and instead focuses on a buildup of dark atmosphere, then throwing loud sounds at you lol. I've played Goldeneye a lot as well, and I think a prior experience like that can influence how effective this is.
