beautiful, twisted, phantasmagorical
4 stars
this collection broke me, in a beautiful way. Megan Milks writes with reverence and horror about the way unconscious desires take form, transmutate, transgress and twist. not every story is a winner, but even the ones that missed for me struck me with their immediacy, their presence of voice and life. trans literary fiction, with all raunchy violent tenderness of contemporary life. check this one out.
