This freaky little short story may be my Roman Empire. 

Read this if you like disturbing stories that leave you at the end with the thought: “honestly? Good for her”

I actually think it’s a pretty funny story the same way that a Junji Ito story is funny — It’s deeply upsetting but you also love how absurd it is and you’re like yessssss YESSSS! (I’m the “sickos” meme guy in this scenario)

wow!!! i just finished this in one sitting and it’s instantly one of the best stories i’ve EVER read! it is so well written, the pacing is perfect, and you feel as though you are there. it became quite creepy and also sad, there is definitely a lot of meanings behind this book to think about as the author is a well-known feminist writer. this novella really evoked a lot of emotions for me, so it’s a definite 5 stars!!!
