About this ebook

From the hyper-online author of Dreaming of You comes a spiky and surprising short stories about women and their demons: jealous men, predatory teachers, monsters, fame, inherited trauma, and their own personal BS.

A short story collection from the author of Dreaming of You and Candelaria. These stories explore the pain and uncertainty of girlhood and young adulthood. Stylish, subversive, and suspenseful, Lozada-Oliva uses elements of body horror and fabulism to great effect, investigating themes of class, race, gender and sexuality, and late stage capitalism.
