Willow Heath and 3 other people liked Ronel Janse van Vuuren's review of Managing and Other Lies: A Queer Horror Collection: "The first story, Managing, is about a haunted house, an MC who is on a gender journey (a woman as I read her, but with a male physicality), and two monsters who come with the house: the aggressive, bullying man and the abusive, flesh-devouring, woman" Read more of this review »
