I think Brandon Taylor said it best on the back of this book, saying something along the lines "This book is for the sickos"....truer words have never been spoken.
Every single story in this collection was weird or odd but utterly captivating. I couldn't put it down, literally read it in one sitting because I needed to know where Camilla Grudova was going to take me. Between the poison garden that a woman makes to help the general public with their problems, to the men that believe they will reach a whole new level of enlightenment if they don't cum and the house full of girls/women who have stopped getting their periods....Grudova has written a truly original collection of short stories that will take you to the brink of your sanity.
