Die Übersetzung könnte durchaus geschmeidiger sein. Besonders bei den Geschichten, die ins Fabelähnliche gehen, hätte man den Ton besser anpassen können.
Lektorat durchwachsen – viel zu viele Kommas überall.
Insgesamt eine Sammlung außergewöhnlicher, interessant verstörender Kurzgeschichten.

mementomoriiv's review against another edition
The stories are really well written with interesting premises. Some are just emotionally draining.

the first short story is very heavily involved with fecal matter. all stories deal with dark subject matter. there is lots of death, abuse, and animal cruelty.akj_'s review against another edition
