Why read it?
1 author picked She Said Destroy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
She Said Destroy is a mind-bending, award-nominated collection of short stories that speak to the horrors of home, childhood, and family. It’s the kind of stuff I wish I could write! They’re fantastical, haunting, unabashedly political, and heartbreakingly beautiful. Bulkin’s among the vanguard of new and emerging voices in horror. In my favorite story from the bunch, a final girl tames a dragon!
From Andy's list on horror writers who aren’t Stephen King.
