At least two stories contain themes of toxic relationships, one focusing on misogynistic behavior. One story revolves around an epidemic, many stories contain sexual themes and content, one story has a brief moment of sexual violence/assault.avasbookmark's review against another edition

Some of the stories were interesting enough, like Eight Bites and Real Women Have Bodies, but I ended up skipping 2 others halfway through because I couldnt get into them. I wasnt a big fan of the writing, it felt like the message was either too obvious or too convoluted, to me at least. Some metaphors also felt a bit ridiculous to me, and took me out of the story.
I wish there was more characterization, and that the fantasy and horror elements would feel more... fantastical and horrible? I love both genres, but I just didn't feel it here, it felt literary most of all, which is fine, but I went in expecting horror and fantasy. A dark fantastical feminist novel is just up my alley, so I went in with high expectations, especially because it has received so much praise. I'm sad it wasn't for me.
