    Some stories worked better than others. I absolutely loved “The Husband Stitch” but the rest didn’t hit the same. 

    It was honestly a struggle to get through the rest, especially “Especially Heinous”. 

    “Mothers” and “The Resident” kinda read like a fever dream.

    Tricky to rate a series of short stories. There were some that I loved, some that I didn't really connect with. The writing style is lovely and experimental, unsettling and violent. Glad to have picked this one up.

    Some of the stories started off strong but there were a few that I had to look up to confirm what I thought they were meant to represent.

    I really enjoyed all the short stories here. They are all beautifully written and walk a line with horror and wonder in the writing.

     I had heard great things about this book from people I follow online and who's opinion I trust since we usually read the same kind of books. So because of that, I was excited to read this. But now I'm just confused. And uncomfortable. but not in the good way? This wasn't at all what I expected it to be.
