dark mysterious fast-paced

3.0

A decent collection of spooky short stories. The sentences can be very long and that made it a little harder for me to read. Given how short the stories were it was hard to appreciate them completely. Some of the stories felt rushed and would have been better flushed out more.

challenging dark slow-paced

• Loveable characters? No

1.0

Based on for my personal enjoyment and rating of these stories, I hated it. 

This book is filled with incomplete stories and trauma porn (specifically of women and children ). I guess if you want a really bad time, go ahead and read it.

marywahlmeierbracciano's review against another edition

challenging dark

5.0

For fans of Samanta Schweblin and Mariana Enríquez, Agustina Bazterrica is another Argentine powerhouse of feminist literary horror.  Much like her counterparts, Bazterrica uses horror to talk about violence against women, in many forms.  This well-rounded collection includes twenty unique and memorable stories touching on relationships, desire, Catholicism, control, endings, and more.  These stories are bold and breathtaking, dripping with blood.
