Somehow, it makes sense – who wouldn’t want to carry a tapeworm for the one they love? In my mind it feels very much like a David Lynch-esque tale so perhaps I’m biased. I really enjoyed all three stories, though the titular opener was my favourite. When they move to an isolated island hotel during off-season their worlds are rocked by the arrival of a mysterious – and possibly biblical – stranger.įinally, while gardening, Mr Fowler digs up a piece of bone which sends him on an unusual journey through a series of challenges set up by his anti-social neighbour. Next we examine the after-effects of devastating grief and loss with a loveless couple who make a promise to stay together, come what may. With macabre and frankly sickening results. Through an internet ad attempting to sell an antique apple peeler, the pair connect before moving to emails, then regular DMs.Īs the feelings progress, so do the lengths to which one woman will go for the other. In story one, we meet two young women who develop an intense and, at times, deeply toxic online relationship. Comprised of three separate spooky stories, the theme that runs through it could be best described as strange. I get we’re not supposed to judge anything by its cover but in this case, I’m glad I picked it up. This book of short stories originally appealed because of its title, I won’t lie. Three devastating, beautifully written horror stories from one of the genre’s most cutting-edge voices.
