although i could NOT stomach Tender is the Flesh, i fell in love with the gruesome and poignant short stories presented in this collection. if you like horror, feeling hopeless, being disgusted in psychological and physical ways, you may enjoy this!!!
this book (novella, really) kicked off a big year of animal-magical realism reads for me that have been nothing but fascinating. 10/10 read -- I'm thinking about it still months later.
