queer, visceral, and surreal – K-Ming Chang built off of everything I loved from BESTIARY, and spun a dozen new tales that I devoured whole. This collection is best suited for a slow read, though, to let each story unfold as it will.

Thank you to Random House and NetGalley for an e-ARC of this book!
