Everything That's Underneath by Kristi DeMeester
2.0
After reading the short story "Crown of Leaves" in Black Static magazine #70 I hungered for more.
These stories are atmospheric, surreal and disturbing especially when it come to mother-daughter relationships. The characters never seem to fight back against whatever forces they encounter. The repetitive stories have build up but end abruptly without confrontation
I did come very close to not finishing. There are a couple stories that are worth reading but the majority are mother-daughter relationship stories that felt like repeats with different character names either about swallowing or giving birth. I am surprised that Apex published this title since it is not a strong collection and the editor should have noticed the repetition of theme ad nauseum.
The cover art is really cool and atmospheric.
