five stars to Slug, The Strands, Kill Marguerite, Wild Animals, and My Father and I Were Bent Groundward

also liked Earl & Ed and Take Us to Your LDR.

ten stars to this passage from Swamp Cycle: "i want to gloat since i knew i needed to take a shit, and now there is proof i was right. but my father refuses to witness the shitting: my triumph is stuck in the air."

Prepare for slime, slime sex, sex, Divine-levels of grotesqueness, queer erotica with moments of tender hearted, imaginative storytelling. I couldn't stomach some of these stories tbh. And the audio book is a hot mess, at least on Spotify. The ends of stories bleed into the next chapter and the choose your own adventure story is useless because it's all lumped together in the same chapter. 

But I did love the tomato story, the video game coming of age story and the wasp/ Orchid love story and am glad I got to listen to them.

Had to go back and rewrite my review. I can’t stop thinking about these stories.
