Excellent collection of short fiction

This collection deserves a detailed review but here are a few thoughts.

The performance is good overall. It's read a little fast for me, and I would have liked a slower pace to take in the content.

I have seen the stories described as body horror but this is probably a bit reductive. Body horror is present, as are some common themes in such work, but there is much more here. Some stories have surreal aspects for example, but they are all highly imaginative and full of intense imagery. These are serious stories with layered meaning and repeat reading/listening is rewarded.

Most striking is the fact that there are no weak stories here. I have personal preferences such as A feast of you. But each story is important.

I would also highly recommend 'Pornography for the end of the world', the authors second collection which once again is consistently excellent. I hope that this will also get an Audible release.

I personally would enjoy seeing a novel but these perfect little stories full of ideas are so satisfying. I hope more people find this powerful and important work.
