I Wish I loved it

My respect and admiration for Augustina Bazterrica and her masterpiece Tender is the Flesh were the only driving forces that helped me finish this collection. With the end of every story, I worried that I just didn't get it, I was too long distanced from literature and academia to appreciate the stories, but honestly, I just don't think this title is a good representation of the authors talents and potential. There are roughly 5 stories within the collection that are riveting or even alluring, but many of them are just too short to leave any sort of lasting impression, and a couple that feel like online submissions for horror stories with harsh length restrictions. Augustina Bazterrica is still one of my favorite authors, this title won't stop me from buying and reading any and everything else she writes, maybe in a couple of years I'll read them again and get something I didn't this time.
