This was so beautiful, and even though we don't get explained almost nothing, you have a feeling you are living the stories with your whole soul.

A collection of dark short stories and great sapphic representation. Beautiful writing, human themed with a creepy touch.

Minor: Violence and Body horror

I was enthralled and repelled in equal measure; and no matter how surreal the concepts got (Sleep becoming a shadow-self; wolves becoming sisters; boyfriends turning in to stone) the stories were so anchored in reality that they seem completely believable.
Certain images and descriptions echo through the different stories, tying them together - tangerines and jellyfish and teeth and rotting food. The stories speak to the experience of living in bodies that are essentially unstable, unknowable and unreliable organic matter; and the mundane horror of accepting we are in a constant state of mutation, change and decay.
