 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.

It's unexpected and horrific and so damn visceral. Some stories jarred me a lot more than others and I'm hoping more of her work is translated into English so I can experience her grime and wonderful mind.

P.s that title should tell you what to expect when you pick up this Short story collection. 

Check for trigger warnings for this one!
