This short story collection was so beautifully grotesque, I don't think I will ever forget this one. "June Bugs," especially. It wowed me away from the start. Kim Fu writes such gross and devastating topics in a way that makes me never want to put it down. Trying to decipher the "deeper" meaning of each felt incredibly valuable, honestly. This idea of the "lesser known monsters" I think stem from the monsters within us all-socially and individually. We all play a part in the destruction of this world, and Fu speaks on that in such prolific, metaphorical ways. I'm blown away.
