- Strong character development? N/A
4.0
Chung has the ability to leave you speechless and questioning why you picked up the book in the first place. I was enamored by Chung’s descriptive writing style from the very first story. If you enjoy horror, speculative fiction, and fairytales, then you’re in the right place, since this book is truly a mixture of all of these.
I chose this for #TheDiverseBaseline May Prompt A: A book by an East Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander author.

the first short story is very heavily involved with fecal matter. all stories deal with dark subject matter. there is lots of death, abuse, and animal cruelty.v_verdesoto's review against another edition
