4.0

Such a haunting group of short stories… very similar to the bloody chamber or the dangers of smoking in bed, was filled with so many dark premises and moments of horror… you can tell Carmen Maria Machado is a poet first and a novelist second - the way she describes even the simplest action is just fascinating and so engrossing. Would defo recommend!!
