Homesick for Another World by Ottessa Moshfegh

4.0

Ottessa Moshfegh is such a unique author in this generation. Her stories have always held the ability to stay in my head for months, sometimes years after reading them. The way she paints a picture is so special, and a collection of short stories was such a perfect project for an author such as Moshfegh. Her stories may take a while to get used to due to their uncanny quality and sometimes morbid and macabre nature. Reading them is like the equivalent of humans not being able to stop looking at an accident or disaster. It’s something so horrible, yet so intriguing to the point of not possessing the ability to look away.
