This book was so strange, but I was so into it!! The first story opens with quite a concept so the reader is prepared for everything that comes after, but I will say that story would also probably turn off a lot of readers…it was something else.

Die Übersetzung könnte durchaus geschmeidiger sein. Besonders bei den Geschichten, die ins Fabelähnliche gehen, hätte man den Ton besser anpassen können.
Lektorat durchwachsen – viel zu viele Kommas überall.
Insgesamt eine Sammlung außergewöhnlicher, interessant verstörender Kurzgeschichten.

mementomoriiv's review against another edition
The stories are really well written with interesting premises. Some are just emotionally draining.
