It was beautifully written but was very hard to read at times and would leave a bad taste in my mouth after certain chapters. Very original though and worth the read as the perspectives in it are nothing like I've ever read before.
Wonderfully horrible. Beautifully grotesque

i wasn't a big fan of the stories that were just violent and gore-y, but i loved the ones that had a more mentally disturbing vibe
my absolute favorite story was "kids who come back"
other favorites were "the well", "the lookout", "no birthdays or baptisms" and strangely enough "meat"
i had to set the book down and think after "where are you, dear heart?". i couldn't continue reading
