hissingpotatoes's review against another edition
2.0
I struggle with short stories, and this volume is no different. On a line-by-line level, the writing and imagery were mostly good with the promised bizarre atmosphere. Some stories had a clear theme or purpose that made them interesting. But I didn't get most stories, and going through the often gross imagery without purpose doesn't work for me. Overall the volume fell flat.

So punchy it'll break a rib.
As a collection of short stories some are better than others but unlike other books, none left me wanting. The added charm is that each story takes about the same amount of time to read that a healthy bowel movement takes to drop so it's perfect for le toilette.
