This is Halloween

For a collection titled “This is Halloween” I was confused because a lot of the short stories were not Halloween themed at all. I actually had high hopes for this collection and it started off decent but after reading consecutive short stories actively describing women for their physical traits only, I lost interest and skimmed the remainder of the stories. It seems like rape and any type of harm towards women is the main theme of this collection and it's honestly ridiculous. The author is a good writer but for me there seems to be a lot of underlying sexism. There's honestly no excuse for it. I wish someone would explain to these sexist, male authors that women aren't going to think someone who's actively trying to attack her is “sort of cute.” Like dude, get a grip. A bit outdated. I could care less about nominations and awards he has won for other material, it's a hard pass on the rest of his work.
