dark tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Tiktok put this author on my radar, and I found the audiobook on Libby. What a strange assortment of short tales that are brutal, vengeful, and twisted. The first story is told through the perspective of a beetle who falls in love with the woman's corpse it is feeding on... This book isn't for the faint of heart.
