This was mostly just mid to me. Only 2 of the stories were genuinely unsettling to me and the others not so much so I’m landing here.

An invigorating, if slightly uncanny, look into the peculiar behaviours of people recontextualised in their own experience. The collections study of the uncomfortable and unspoken forms into a message of warning over judgement.

Disfruté mucho los cuentos tanto por su contenido como por la manera en que escribe la autora, sin duda seguiré leyendo su obra.

Compré este libro sin saber que lo necesitaba. Siempre he tenido un gusto extraño hacia lo raro, grotesco, lo oscuro. Los personajes de estos relatos nos presentan su más recóndita intimidad, que puede resultarnos repulsiva, puede darnos aversión o puede ponernos a pensar. Y tú, ¿tienes alguna manía secreta que no quieras contarle a nadie? ¿Tienes vivencias que preferirías guardártelas para siempre?
