Short stories that stick like tar — and a final piece that's prescient enough to think about for years.

One of the best four-star reads I've ever done.

This one will stick with you like tar. Dark and deep and an unsettling set of short stories that semi-weave together.

They all have their own depravity that is both insightful, illuminating, and deeply depressing — and they're all very well written, perfectly capturing contemporary modern life and the loneliness epidemic.

But that last one. Incredibly prescient and the one I'll likely be thinking about for a very long time.
