Not their worst. Probably half of the collection is decent and the rest is boring.

Welp… It’s safe to say that splatterpunk involving animals is not for me. I did enjoy the last story, though. I did enjoy the metaphors and the stories where the creatures get their revenge. It doesn’t feel fair for me to rate this, as I was most definitely NOT the target demographic for this collection.

I dedicate this book to my mother, the affliction. This book is a true representation of our relationship.
