      1st story 'The Whipping' strange, how easily the strange is accepted as normal within a family.2nd story, Limbs, rather fascinating and innovative, senior and dementia home where some are given brain stimulation and limbs that work to help some walk again. 3rd story Feral. Packs of wild dogs terrorize. Very visual but seemed to go on forever. Least favorite so far.4th story. JawsStarted out keeping track of these stories. Very strong writing and very strong images. My favorite is "Limbs:, loved the concept which I think could work in real life possibly and loved the human interest twist that appears. I can't say that I really liked any of the others, they were very strange, but as I said very visual but for the most part unlikable. Unforgettable though for sure, doubt I will forget a one. Not sure if that is a good thing or not. Many are the stuff of nightmares or deranged minds?Love the cover though.ARC from publisher

      Not sure where I heard about this book but this collection of short stories was excellent. Elliott is very creative. Here stories use lots of surrealism along with science fiction. She deals with many of the issues facing us such as the environment, social media, aging, etc and takes a set up and pulls it to absurd endings. She shows great knowledge in her subject matter and the stories were very creepy/fun. Like all short story collections there is always an issue with how stories end. The ambiguity and abruptness of the endings bothered me a bit but overall I highly recommend this truly original author. She has a novel out and it will be interesting to see how she does with that form as opposed to the short story.

      Nice book, I liked it. Little bit plane, but nice read!
    • 4/5
      Whimsical, lyrical, effervescent prose. Imaginative storytelling that skirts between literary and speculative with a a sense of wonder and abandon. A charming collection, through and through.
    • 4/5
      I loved how absolutely, unapologetically gross this collection was. The author lovingly describes the disgusting details of being human, of being organic lifeforms, of being in love and growing up and growing old and trying to figure out how much of you is real and how much artifice. It's in the surgically disinfected that Elliott finds despair and disgust and it's in the acceptance of existence as disgusting and messy that her characters eventually find absolution. This was an amazingly unique collection of skin-crawling transcendence
