An odd collection of stories that will make you reconsider life as we know it and the purpose of the way we inhabit our bodies.
Graphic: Body horror, Rape, and Sexual content

I love anthologies, but I cannot say this book will stick with me after reading. Most of the stories are interesting, sure, but there feels like something is missing that you can’t quite find. I felt like stories were meant to have a deeper meaning, but finding where that could be was challenging, even more so with the levels of absurdism so high.
I would recommend it as a quick read, with some fascinating stories. Especially for those wanting to dip their toes into some absurdist, strange, slightly experimental literature with little commitment.

Moderate: Addiction, Body horror, Cancer, Death, Drug abuse, Drug use, Infertility, Vomit, Cannibalism, Abortion, Death of parent, and Pregnancy
