I was pretty confused with each story but in a good way. It added to the chaos of each one.

This book is psychotic.
I loved the silliness of the short story sisters, but otherwise wish I would have skipped.

2 or 3 stars currently.
I ordinarily love weird stories but I do need there to be some ... story.
I completely appreciate the absolutely incredible imagination and word wrangling dexterity that has gone into this collection, but I’m not vibing it. At. All.
I am having an intense time at work so perhaps my brain is defunct of capacity to dive into the realm of logic (of lack of) these stories require. I may attempt to return to them at a later date.

3rd story in the collection put me off - the combination of infidelity and cannibalism grossed me out too much

Just not in the mood for surrealist speculative horror right now. Will definitely pick it back up at a later time though.
