4.0

Like most short story collections, Burnt Tongues has a couple of misses, but overall, it was a great read. Zombie Whorehouse, Bike, and Heavier Petting are probably my three favorites, because they push expectations and still make relevant social comments. Some of the other stories were shocking/gruesome but didn't seem to make a larger point. Even those stories were fun because the writing was good and the subject matter was pretty far out. Personally, I think transgressive fiction works best as satire or social commentary so those stories which seemed to be working on that level were much more enjoyable to me. Other horror fans may enjoy several of the other stories just for the content.
