Luisah's Church
Street Worm
To the Moment
Appreciate subject matter of Luisah's Church - drama happens against backdrop of protagonist applying for increase to her disability benefits. To the Moment the shortest but the most memorable. Not much happens, but punchiness to each of the reveals about the protagonist's bizarre anatomy and feeding habits

An Awfully Big Adventure
Women of the Doll
The Tawny Bitch
Cruel Sistah
Just Between Us
Women of the Doll is my favorite so far. The character relationships are tragic and touching.
This collection is an interesting counterpoint to my recent re-read of Shawl's debut collection Filter House. Mother-daughter relationships and child protags still feature but more somber tone.
