Beautifully unhinged and absolutely grim. My mind went to places and thoughts it hadn't visited for some time.

This was a letdown after how much I loved Tender is the Flesh. The writing isn't bad, exactly, but it feels very detached and clinical. A lot of these stories are only a handful of pages long and barely have a plot, so there's not much to grab onto. Maybe 3 of the stories are ones I would say I enjoyed, the rest just kind of...existed. Meh.

Wow.
I went into this book expecting a normal book of short stories. Boy was I wrong.
This is one of the most shocking, disturbing, fantastic short story collections I have ever read.
Not only did it shake me to the core, it gripped me with interesting characters, great writing and fluctuating story length. 
Marvellous.
