4.5/5
Thoroughly enjoyed all the short stories’ style and tone, but not “Especially Heinous” which I think I did not get the point of at all! Despite that, this book is brilliant. Will reread shortly for sure.

Shirley Jackson-esque speculative fiction/horror/new weird. The first story - The Husband Stitch was the best of the bunch.
This collection of genre-bending short stories started off with a bang! I loved “The Husband Stitch” but was then disappointed by all the law & order mini episode descriptions. Others were less memorable, but engaging while I read them. So it was uneven for me but I did appreciate the focus on the ways women’s bodies are commodified, possessed, and mistreated. I am giving this a pick because I’m not sure I’ll forget about that ribbon!
