it was amazing

Watch out � We have a debut author who to me is on the same level as Han Kang/Otessa Moshfegh/Lisa Taddeo, and I don’t give out such compliments lightly.

I am so fed up with litfic because there’s only so many stories about depressed bookstore employees dating toxic men in NY/Dublin I can take, so I decided to move on to speculative/horror litfic, and it’s soooo refreshing.

These stories were incredible. Raw, dark, twisted, profound, touching, and most importantly fresh & unique � not just weird for the sake of being weird (I am looking at you, Mona Awad).

The main themes are grief, death & sexuality, but with a dystopian/post-apocalyptic twist. I was incredibly impressed by the writing and I’m sure this book will do amazing when it comes out in June.

Thank you SO MUCH Netgalley for this incredible ARC. ❤️
