by Intan Paramaditha
dark
reflective
tense
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
N/A
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Do you depend on me, or do you refuse to let me go because I’m a brittle hair, easily uprooted from your scalp and swept away? Are you afraid of losing me?
My first read from intan paramaditha and to say I was pleased is an understatement!!
Dark, gruesome, unsettling and horrifyin are the adjectives that I think are suitable to describe how this collection of short stories made me feel.
Inspired from horror folktales with thought-provoking twists and social critique–this collection of short stories shed the light on a lot of systematic issues like beauty standards, religion ,patriarchy, women's bodily anatomy and the sacrifices and stereotypical roles that come for being a woman.
My favorite stories were: "blood", "scream in a bottle" and "the queen" I wish I could talk about the stories in depth, but I fear I would end up spoiling them in the process :')
