definitely one of my faves from him, the story with the PEOPLE SEWN TOGETHER AND THE DAD PERFORMING SURGERY ON GUYS THAT OBSESSED OVER HIS DAUGHTER- those got me in a chokehold

I would recommend this book, truly disturbing imagery. I truly enjoyed Billions Alone, The Human Chair and Keepsake. The remaining 7 were interesting but a bit forgettable. Even so I would still recommend for a light enjoyable read. Even though I only really liked the 3 stories mentioned, they were very good that I gave it 4⭐️
