ikiaika's review against another edition
2.75
I have a hard time describing what my main problem with this book is, other than that it's not... weird enough? I feel like all the stories in this work are too brief to really get to the meat of the themes and topics they try to explore. Even the weirdest and most unhinged characters never get their full moment to shine beyond the initial shock of what their inclusion adds, and I think it's a shame, because the book still has no problem getting descriptive about bodily fluids and other gross-out content. I feel like -- with the exception of one story about a very particular dining experience -- the stories are, somehow, holding themselves back.
That being said, I enjoyed the prose, and I didn't find my concentration wavering even through the most slow-paced of the stories.
