Kink by Garth Greenwell, R.O. Kwon

2.0

There were some aspects and a couple stories of this book that I did enjoy. However, overall, I found the tone of this book excessively esoterically artsy, and many, if not all, of the stories aligned the concept of kinks with a notion of either pushing yourself or others to discomfort, or the edge, or that a kink was automatically aligned with some dark, sinister or unwanted part of yourself.
Most of the stories left me with a feeling of hauntedness or feeling eerie, rather than feeling inspired, opened, or curious. I find the latter to be more realistic with learning or reading about kinks in most circumstances.
