i do love intertextuality that overarch between the different short stories. knowing that this is only a collection makes it even more fun to assume that the author kept all his little depraved, fucked up stories in his mind, feet-kicking about the thought of readers noticing.

I just finished the first short story "Rest Stop" - and anything the story threw at me was just agonizing and disgusting. I am arachnophobic, so Abe's encounter with the tarantula really went under my skin. I felt bugs crawling all over me.
In retroperspective, I could have anticipated the ending (Though I do wanted it to have a different outcome).
