I don't know what I expected, but it was not this.
Malauradament no he acabat d'entrar mail dins del relat. És cert que la conclusió final dona sensació de solidesa però potser l'hauria de rellegir (d'una revolada, no en diversos trajectes de metro mentre viatjo mig adormit) per copsar-ne l'essència, aquest sentiment que, això sí, es destil·la gota a gota (de sang).
I absolutely loved this. Quick and short, but packs so much of a punch. I really love when authors take bizarro concepts and explore the emotional depths and humanity in it. This was eerie and weird, but tackled topics like identity, violence, obsession and paranoia. Highly recommend this little novella. So glad this was my last read of 2020.

Nightmarish SF horror. Well-written and engaging, though not my usual thing. There’s at least one serious plot hole that seems to be a result of a man trying earnestly to write about menstruation but who doesn’t realize that it can if necessary be pharmaceutically eliminated for months at a time.
I'm often a little annoyed by books that dive into a bonkers premise and never try to explain it at all, but this one is definitely an exception. It's just so intriguing and so energetic that it's impossible not to enjoy it. It does offer some explanations towards the end, but it's really more questions than answers and if I'd known there was a sequel coming in the summer I may have waited until then to read it. Definitely recommended, though not if you're particularly squeamish.
