Themes of sex and deception, eh? I like when the trifectas have themes, and all of these involved both sex and hidden motives.
I felt like "Strange Love" kind of fell flat. The buildup with the aliens and the yellow blood the bizarrely spidering tattoos was very vivid and pretty creepy. I thought it was going to some dark, Lovecraftian place, but the actual reveal was pretty banal. My reaction was, "Ha ha! Chump sucker!" and then I was ready for the next thing,
which was
really good, if I do say so. This was actually very sinister, but it was done in such a way that the real horror almost slips past you. I dig that. I love when horror is subtle and thoughtful: So much better than bloody knives. The real, clincher, IMO, is the line "I think they're making you right now. Even though you're older, I'm gonna be the bestest big sister ever."

What. Is.
That. Thing? I love the suggestion that this evil(?) power is coming at the world from this totally unexpected and seemingly innocuous source, and that it is, apparently, unstoppable. No one would suspect a cookie or a baby sister. This story reminded me of (favorite movie) The Ring, which is high praise, because of the way it made the evil deeply scary by making it 1.) unstoppable, 2.) vague and 3.) completely unexpected.
"Forbidden Love" was fun, but, of course, it suffers from being completely unoriginal. I honestly don't remember how those old Looney Toons cartoons ended, but I remember the poor cat's frantic dismay and desperation. It was nice that she finally got to rid herself of her smelly harasser once and for all.
