Similarly twisted and cruel as Tender Is The Flesh. Each story stands out and offers a unique perspective on whatever horror Bazterrica has prepared for us.

It insists upon itself 


A lot of pretension but no real substance to the point the use of mental illness and violence especially against women and sexual violence involving children felt gimmicky unfortunately.

2.75 ⭐️ 
I feel I would have given this 3.5 ⭐️ if I had physically read this. But because I listened to it by audio, it was hard for me to remember all the little details and understand the nuances.
