It's a wild read but definitely captivating. I really enjoyed the pace and I'm positive some stories will always stay with me. The only frustrating part was that some stories ended without a crescendo and it felt like a little let done. But overall a very dark book but one to get back into reading. But read with caution.

collection of short stories so character progression and such is difficult, but within each story the characters were distinct and never felt rushed, some of the stories were not to my taste but still very well written, favourites are, our lady of the quarry, the well, the lookout (particularly the characterisation of elina), where are you dear heart (grotesque and delicious my absolute favourite i keep re-reading it), and meat (a very close second favourite for the exact same reasons)
