I am not a big short story reader as I typically like to spend a whole book getting to know characters. However Lily King is one of my favorite authors so I had to give these a try. I certainly enjoyed some stories more than others. I like King’s writing style as she has a great ability to paint a scene and conjure nostalgia. I personally liked the titular story the most.
Graphic: Homophobia, Rape, Sexual assault
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Alcoholism, Medical content, Medical trauma, Death of parent, Alcohol
Minor: Body horror, Abortion
I seriously recommend skipping the first story Creature if concerned about graphic descriptions of SA. Hotel Seattle story also has SA/rape
