this ripped!!! this was more than horror and unsettling tales (what i anticipated going into it) - each of the pieces in this book are thought-provoking, relevant, existential, tender, and unique in their own way. i really enjoyed all of these stories; “scars” and “reunion” were my favorites.
Truly enjoyed reading this collection of really bizarre stories. They range from stories set in a distant mythological past to something that could potentially happen in your everyday. Made me reflect quite a bit on bodily boundaries, disgust, and how we push things out (literally and figuratively) that we are disgusted by

This was such a thrilling collection of short stories with incredible variation in themes and topics from one to another. Scars was my favourite, as I loved the theme of freedom and humanity, but The Embodiment and Goodbye, My Love also stuck with me.

These stories had potential but many of them were slow or felt like they were missing something - maybe lost in translation?

I just wasn't a fan of the writing. Maybe it's because it's a translation, but it just felt very "cold".
