- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? N/A
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Great for fans of Shirley Jackson and Helen Oyeyemi. My favorites stories were "A Birthday", "Food Man", "Vegetable Love", and "The Book That Finds You".
Graphic: Death, Sexism, Blood, and Misogyny
Moderate: Child abuse and Violence
Minor: Sexual content

Three Words That Describe this book: character driven, intense, direct tone
What I wanted to write in my review, but alas, it is too professional an outlet for it was-- "Tuttle, where have you been all my life?!?!?!"
