This is a phenomenal collection of stories! Each one blends some Cronenberg-level body horror with a frankly uncomfortable serving of eroticism, which should not work together nearly as well as they do, but Vidito blends them perfectly. There was not a single story in this collection that I disliked, which is a rare occurrence for sure! Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys body horror in all its many forms.

carrionkid's review against another edition

4.0

I devoured this little collection extremely quickly. There were a few stories that didn't interest me as much, but the ones that stuck out to me were fantastically writhing and twisted and desperate. Full of body horror in settings that feel like your worst anxiety dreams, this collection is fast paced and contains a versatile body of work.
