in this instance its the hoes scaring ME :O

i have more to say… the writing and stories are very revealing of the time. opium and casual abuse. it was a horrible choice for a bedtime read but i’m determined to finish the book just to say i did so. maybe not today though. Nin is interestingly humorous at parts and absolutely gruesome at most. i’m genuinely scared of what’s next. what horrors await me.. i wonder

the backstory of this collection was so interesting and i’d heard things about Nin in passing. well, i forgot that curiosity killed the cat. the first story started off interesting and then quickly dived into straight up rape. horrific to the highest degree. i felt sick and continued reading only in hopes that it would soon end. second story was also horrifying. it’s all women and children being abused…

i always think the cover is somebody with their head wrapped up in bandages who's got a second person in a leglock. upon closer inspection this is NOT a book about wrestlers who are also mummies. but i will try to enjoy it anyway. i like Anais Nin. wow i just realized the stupid pun "anais nine inch nails"
