This is a DARK collection of stories. They are very visceral, violent and striking. I would have enjoyed the collection more but too many of the stories were open-ended for my preference. They touch on a variety of themes like immigration, assimilation, religion, abuse and more. 

Definitely check the trigger warnings on this one!
