It took me ages to get through these short stories. They are peculiar. It felt like reading dark fairytale fever dreams. I really liked four of them (“Unstitching”, “Waxy”, “Edward, do not pamper the dead” and “Notes from a Spider”). The others were not for me - maybe because I just couldn’t get behind some of them.
