speculativebecky 's review for:
Mars
by Asja Bakić
This slim volume of short stories brilliantly blends elements of horror, feminist thought and science fiction. The tension and pacing of these stories is intense, plus I was propelled from each story to the next and rarely felt myself dragging in reacclimating, a feat many short story collections don’t achieve for me. Definitely my favorite of my recent strange speculative collection reads! Quick, strange, and completely compelling, I highly recommend to you all.
My favorite stories were Abby, an eerie and compulsive read about a woman grappling with her total lack of memory; Asja 5.0, set in a world without lust where a woman and her clone attempt to escape their ex; Passions, where an author contemplates a lost friendship and becomes obsessed with the authorship of a book she didn’t write; The Guest, in which a journalist goes to investigate a cult; and The Underworld, about a world where all books and writers have been exiled to Mars.
