Rating and review only for Rebecca Campbell's An Incomplete Catalogue of Miraculous Births, or, Secrets of the Uterus Abscondita.

A very interesting story to say the least. The gross, grotesque description of various wombs and birthing stuff did not trouble me much (I read weirder stuff than those) but I wish the ending has a better sense of a finale. I liked the juxtaposing with Greek myth and presumably urban legends (were they?) as all definitely contributed to the creepiness factor.
