A review by outforawalk787
With Animal by Kelly Magee, Carol Guess
4.0
4.5
This is very surreal. It's almost like each story is its own little nightmare, not necessarily a way that is superficially scary or depressing but just haunting. It is a collection that echoes. Guess and Magee created a truly unique, poyniant but equally horrifying universe. Like a nightmare, the logic wraps around itself, purposeful and self-aware but also discrete, uncanny. Animal is both natural and other.
It honestly reminds me of a feminist poetic version of Eraserhead - centering on the fears of childbearing and motherhood, finding oneself part of a beastial process. Overall I really enjoyed it. It will definitely stick with me for a long time.
