Mariana Enriquez has easily been the best literary discovery I’ve made this year.

Wow hmm i always forget to read short stories more carefully bc eventually i see some threads and wonder which ones i missed
challenging dark fast-paced

first few stories were a bit hit or miss but loved some of the later stories (perhaps just got into the groove of the collection a bit more?) I can’t say that I found this collection to be particularly thought-provoking or ~deep~ but v good for the pure enjoyment/creep factor it delivered. some of my favourites were ‘meat’, ‘where are you, dear heart?’ and ‘kids who come back’
