I highly recommend this story! Writing style is just amazing. The theme is quite dark and heavy. You could feel the character's pain. I didn't know what to say after reading it. It's not only gruesome, but also very tragic. There's trauma, loss, bodily violation, social exile, and emotional pain throughout.
(I left a rating and review a couple of weeks ago, but I only realize just now that they're not made public or shown anywhere on here...)
Angela is one of the most cutting, visceral authors I've ever read. Its use of monstrous fiction to explore what defines us, what matters to us, and the ways the world punishes us for deviance is unparalleled. This and one of its other works - "They Say Don't Get Clocked" - have opened my eyes and heart to a level of grimy, bone-splitting horror as queer catharsis.
