This Skin Was Once Mine and Other Disturbances

Sadly a little disappointed in this collection. The first story I found confusing with the time jumps and the second was forgettable. The third story with the glass was my favorite and the most interesting, and the last one was fun but even still not enough to save the collection for me 

read for reading my most anticipated 2024 releases vlog: coming soon

eric larocca truly shines in a short story format. his stories always have a way of getting under my skin and living in my head rent free. even if not completely grounded in reality, they always display the truly horrific reality of humanity. the writing is impeccable. the concepts are astounding. and i truly cannot get enough of their work.

this skin was once mine: 4.5/5 stars
seedling 3.5/5 stars
all the part of you that won't easily burn 4.5/5 stars
prickle 4.5/5 stars

thank you to titan books, eric larocca, and netgalley for an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review
