lou's Reviews > Fruiting Bodies: Stories

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the eARC

An extremely creative short story collection with the main topic being women and bodies. It's really hard to describe it in general but I can say this left a huge impression in me, the idea of each story could have been a whole book if the author wanted to. My favourites were The Changeling, how far can your beliefs go? Fiddler, Fool Pair, this was so dreamy, I also want to go and gamble parts of my body and mind for no good reason. Fruiting Bodies, beautiful and gross, dont you just love reading about a girl that grows mushrooms out of her body? And Endangered Animals which was really strange and left me with a sour taste at the end but that I loved regardless.
Every story was good, in my opinion, but there was a little bit of me feeling unsatisfied by the way the stories that I didnt name turned out.
But overall, pretty unforgettablewhich is what I think is the hardest thing a short story collection can do, but this one surely did so.
