Probably one of the best short story collections I have ever read. Each story felt entirely unique with its own voice. I enjoyed every single story and wanted more!

chung's stories, shifting genres at each turn, flit from the quotidian horror of the mundane to the fairy tale horror of monsters to the familiar horror of men and their greed, all with frank prose and a critical eye towards patriarchy and capitalism and power.
