I appreciate what the author did here, it's very different from their usual style. Am I a fan? No, but it's interesting. I like it when authors reinvent themselves.

This collection is a perfect blend of different genres:horror, literary fiction,fantasy, speculative fiction and magical realism. Equal parts grotesque and captivating, these stories will stay me for a LONG time https://t.co/7NHlvyhIbt
