this collection unsettled me in a way that's stuck with me as i eat apples, as i pick the florets of vegetables from my teeth, and as i slip into the bath. queer not as in romantic, but queer as in obsessed with the self and devoted to the other, queer from the inside out. truly excellent dip into what LaRocca can accomplish in short order.

Due to the animal abuse, mental abuse, and overall writing of this novella I had to put it down. Just not for me.

This was mind boggling y’all. I don’t think i could say enough good things abt this book so I’m just gonna compare reading each story to watching specific movies. ¯\_(•3•)_/¯ 
  1. the first story was like watching Helter Skelter (2012), Love Exposure, Bones and All, Anti-Christ, Raw, and Titane.
  2. The second one is like watching Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Lodge, Enys Men, & Saint Maud.
  3. The third is JUST like Speak No Evil, The Invitation (2015) and Creep.
read it!

I was warned about what this book contained but oh my god it took a strange and grotesque turn.
What was the point of the court case layout? That didn't seem to head anywhere. Also, the tapeworm in general was just strange. Not necessarily a positive or negative just a strange and surprising ending

This is a book. Very triggering and disgusting about a depraved lesbian relationship. After reading this you will look at Apple peelers, tape worms and meat very differently.

yeah i couldn't finish it the moment i heard "the cat and the priest."

i can handle a decent amount of viscera and whatnot but i can't do animal cruelty.
