A review by anyacrittenton
Fist of the Spider Woman: Tales of Fear and Queer Desire by Amber Dawn
Stopped reading about a quarter of the way through because it was too triggering for me. I do hope to go back and finish one day, but right now is not the time.
So far, I was split pretty evently on the book. I'm glad I read reviews beforehand to understand just how gruesome and disturbing some of the stories are. That being said, they were still too much for me, as evidenced by my unconscious reaction to them.
I appreciate what this collection is doing, but it certainly is not for everyone, especially for those us with our own past traumas. At some point, hopefully this book will be more empowering for me, but for now I need to focus on other things.
