The first story she really didn’t need to go that hard but she did, beginning with an image of a dentist picking up her neighbours dentures and the neighbour throwing themselves out of a window and landing dead in front of her. ⚠️ TWs: mentions blood, death (human and animal), suicide, alcohol use, paedophilia, murder, grief, profanity, vomitting, poisoning, overdose, gun use, sexual situations, dismemberment, child abuse, assassination, zoophilic and necrophiliac incest, physical assault, colonisation, dieting, choking, prostitution, abortion, whipping, rape and burns ⚠️ I definitely had a few favourites in this collection, for example 'A Light, Swift and Monstrous Sound', 'Candy Pink', 'Unamuno's Boxes', 'No Tears', 'The Continuous Equality of the Circumference' and 'The Solitary Ones'. I love how within these short stories, she explores so many different topics and each story is wrapped up beautifully - they are so unhinged and horrifying but I could not stop reading, I devoured this book because I was so intrigued where each story was going to go. I quickly fell in love with Agustina's writing, I love how she describes things in such a horrific way that it makes it easy to picture the story unfolding in your head. As soon as I read the first story in this collection of nineteen short stories, I knew that I was going to absolutely love this.
