What a strange little collection! Some of these stories were wonderful, others definitely not my cup of tea. The take away is that Daisy Johnson is a great writer, but I'm not a fan of sexual horror if that's even a genre? I just don't think we need to be demonising female desire :/ in general the stories about relationships were not my faves but I loved the stories about the fen and turning into fish and being made of mud, that's the good stuff!!
