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.

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.
