Bit of a Mixed Bag

Some of the stories in this collection (Inventory, The Husband Stitch, Real Women Have Bodies) are some of my favorite short stories I have ever read. Some of the others however (especially ‘Especially Heinous’) just aren’t for me. The author has a very distinctive style which I like a lot, and I would definitely read more of their work.
Fantastical, phantasmic, feminist

Not my usual style, these short stories were an interesting read. For any Law & Order SVU fans, her story in that vein is a must read.
A must read!

The greatest downfall of this book is the story styled after Law & Order - it’s nonsensical and it tries too hard. It bogs the book down so badly.
Beautiful and uncomfortable

Truly a beautiful work - eerie and haunting and familiar all at once
A work of art!

The stories in this collection were chilling, beautiful, and so new and unique. Machado is an artist.
Un-put-downable
