This was a mixed bag for me. I’m usually not a fan of short story compilations, but I wanted to give this one a try. The first few stories were out of this world. I loved them! And then towards the middle it wasn’t as compelling, just grisly. Lots of reproductive / body horror, themes around misogyny and cancer as plot devices. Solid mid rating for me overall.
