Did not finish book.
This was pretty good overall. The first story is probably my favorite. I also really enjoyed Comforter of the Afflicted. I didn’t read the last one because I lost interest. I also didn’t read the comic one because I read this as a library ebook and it wasn’t very readable.
I enjoyed reading stories set in a different place and cultural context but which were still very accessible I thought. Themes of poverty, sexual exploitation, and abuse abound, though, so they are dark reads. To be expected with noir!
