Probably the only book I can describe as both awful and amazing. Disgustingly well-done. Not for those with weak stomachs.

Entire story that misgenders a woman (whether they are trans or not is up to interpretation)

and leads to SA/rape of that woman

Bored. Saint Gut-Free's story was the only one that was even remotely "gut-churning," the rest of them were easily tolerated. Messed-up? Sure. But overall they weren't bad enough to keep me interested.
