 What a gorgeous, unsettling, heart-wrenching collection of stories. This book won't be for the faint of heart; it contains a tremendous amount of difficult content and is layered with endless metaphors for rape culture, colonization, racism, and more — but if you feel comfortable taking it on, it will be well worth your time.

Certainly a book full of violent stories. I wanted a lot of them as full, stand alone books! But there were definitely some flat stories.
