The Coiled Serpent is a short story collection of varying strange and eclectic stories, with themes of the human condition.
I thought this collection was very cool! Each story was well written for its subject matter, and I always love reading stories about how weird humans can be when pushed enough or of their own volition or from being nurtured in certain environments.
Admittedly one or two stories I didn't entirely get but they were still enjoyable!
My favourite stories were The Poison Garden and Madame Flora's.
Highly recommend if you love a weird tale or two.
