Yeah sorry y’all I don’t think I like Augustina Bazterrica’s writing. I liked this book even less than Tender is the Flesh. The stories weren’t very compelling, and I felt pretty bored for most of them, and even though they were short, I found myself wishing they were over sooner. And despite this being a horror/thriller short story collection, the only one that even remotely scared me was The Solitary Ones, the last story in the book. My other favorites were The Wolf’s Breath and The Slowness of Pleasure, because they felt more like long form poetry. My absolute least favorites were all the rest, but specifically Candy Pink and Teicher vs. Nietzsche. But even though I didn’t like this book, I will definitely try reading more short story collections, because I am not ready to give up on them yet.
Read from the Provo library.
