Reviews

[Suze Geuke]

ik heb hier eigenlijk helemaal niet zo veel over te zeggen behalve dat dit een steengoeie bundel is met vrijwel allemaal fris verse verzinsels

[Diep Nguyen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun quick reads. Dark themed

[AP · Rating 4.25 out of 5]

A master storyteller with absurdist, surrealist influences. I will be reading his other stories to learn his craft.
