"Baby Teeth" by Zoje Stage is an emotionally brutal story told from the limited perspectives of a mother and daughter, offering a devastating exploration of missed opportunities and miscommunications within the family. "Good Omens" is a refreshing, humorous take on the concept of Armageddon, providing a light-hearted flair amidst the seriousness of other stories. "Slender Man" intrigues with its unattributed authorship and promise of a modern boogeyman tale.

"The Fall of the House of Usher," a modernized take on Edgar Allan Poe's work, incorporates crime family drama. Despite the lack of requirement for prior knowledge of Poe's work, subtle nods to his texts enhance the experience. The show, featuring unsympathetic characters facing comeuppance, may appeal to those interested in a blend of horror and crime drama.
