Normally I love short stories, but these were too off-putting and seemed sexually explicit without any reason (in a really tryhard way). Not my kind of weird. I feel like the stories were written as if there is supposed to be some deeper meaning, but lacks the ability to do so.  Personally, I did not enjoy it, but it might be for someone elses taste.

Short story collections tend to have a few great stories, a few bad ones, and a lot of meh ones. This collection has two good ones and the rest was a flaming pile of uncomfortable sh*t. The few gems in this collection can't save it from the blatant attempt at provocation/edgy-ness that relies on borderline incest, ephebophilia, exclusively abusive queer relationships, and Asian racism.
