after reading in the dream house I had high expectations - Maria Machado is a visionary, and she lead us in and out of reality with these absurdist short stories. unfortunately only a few of them really shone to me, and although I respect the grind, the 60 pages of law and order fantasy fanfic was tough to come back from

3.5 ⭐️

As many short story collections - some were 5 ⭐️ hits (Mothers, Eight bites) some were just meh (Especially Heinous)

Excited to read more from this author - her unique and gruesome writing gave me Sayaka Murata vibes in the best way.

The short story, 'Eight Bites', was relatable and a good introduction to body horror as recommended by my gf
