You would think an idea like that has potential to go somewhere, but it doesn't go anywhere. It's not developed. The story ends when it could get interesting. This collection is my first disappointment with Mariana Enriquez's work. That element of mystery and fear is missing here. So far in the stories that i've read, they come across as bits and pieces of something that could be good but never makes it there.

Julie relies so heavily on the main character being overweight and also comically unattractive. Julie is a side show act . Her physical description as this grotesque window dressing for the story just seems lazy. Here, look at this fat, cross-eyed girl who insists that she has sex with spirits. Isn't that weird? Isn't that creepy?
