Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado
4.0

Short story collection around women love sex and relationships. Some verging towards erotica, some dystopian, other purely bizarre. Top favorite is "Inventory": a list of relationships with men and women, then apocalypse (kinda). I loved the one where a woman rang the bell of her former lover and told her "this baby is yours", violent story follows. And the one where women literally disappear.
.
Didn't like the one based on Law and Order series but I guess it's part bc I've never watched it.
.
This collection is bold, creepy, weird, and I'm very much into all that.
