what a strange and thrilling collection!!! Machado has such an amazing way with words, and all of the stories were so imaginative. some of them were so bizarre but in a way i really appreciated. overall i really enjoyed this collection!!

here are my fave stories:
  • The Husband Stitch
  • Mothers
  • Especially Heinous
  • Eight Bites


i'm looking forward to reading her memoir next!
