Mouthful of Birds by Samanta Schweblin
4.0
If you're into stories that give you chills and make you think, "Mouthful of Birds" by Samanta Schweblin is a wild ride. Seriously, some of these tales will stick with you like a haunting melody you can't shake.
I can't stop thinking about "Headlights," where Schweblin taps into the weird things we do when we think no one's watching. And "Mouthful of Birds"? It's like a twisted family drama that blurs the line between reality and nightmare.
There's something about "Preserves," "The Heavy Suitcase of Benavides," and "Heads Against Concrete" that leaves you feeling uneasy—in a good way. Schweblin has this knack for exploring human nature's darker corners without holding back.
Sure, not every story hit me the same way, but that's the beauty of a collection like this. Each piece is its own trip into the strange and unsettling. Schweblin's writing pulls you in and keeps you guessing until the end.
If you're up for a read that's equal parts creepy and thought-provoking, give "Mouthful of Birds" a shot. Just be prepared to have some seriously haunting stories on your mind afterward.
