Vile Men by Rebecca Jones-Howe
4.0
"There's a certain kind of man who goes for damaged girls."
Vile Men is a collection of 14 dark short stories, and it was so much fun to read. The stories are intense, unsettling, and haunting. I wouldn't classify these as horror, but they are still quite grim.
A lot of this book is focused on sex, and different emotions that come along with it - some stories are funny, some are horrifying, some are sad, etc. It's an intriguing way to deal with the topic.
The title "Vile Men" comes from a quote in the book; however, not only men are vile in this book. Some are just normal characters, and it's the women who are vile.
My top 5 stories in this book are Paper Bag Princess, Blue Hawaii, Grin on the Rocks, Better Places, and Cat Calls. All of these are going to stick with me, and I can't wait to read more from this author!
