This collection, especially for a debut, is spectacular. There are numerous themes running throughout, and Gianni Washington's prose is evocative, visceral and leaves plenty to ruminate over.  Haunting, horrifying and a riveting reflection on life, and all of its uncertainties, this is a collection that is marvellous in ots execution and has so much masked beneath the surface for readers to discover. One that I will be thinking of for a while.

I'm not typically a short story book girl but I really enjoyed this book of short stories. All the stories flowed beautifully together and I while I liked some stories more than other I didn't truly dislike any of them.
