OH FUCK OH FUCK IT HURTS: A Collection of Medical Horror by Ruth Anna Evans

challenging dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Ruth Anna Evans never lets me down. Her stories are visceral and feel real. Running the gamut from body horror to the horrors of the US medical system, a lot of these stories resonated deeply with me (a chronic pain patient for the last 22 years). 4.5 stars
