I enjoyed this collection of short stories overall, however certain portions, specifically in the second story were extremely difficult to parse. I don’t think this is for everyone, but if you are looking for something that challenges colonial understandings of time, memory, and belonging than you should check it out.

Intense, brutal, very very dark horror including strikingly vivid descriptions of violence. These are not redemption stories
