Singing My Sister Down and other stories | Margo Lanagan

This was weird af! You really have to go into her books with an open mind. She tackles rough topics in a magical realism genre, so it's just a lot happening all at once.

For the most part I loved the short stories. Their evoke really strong visual images and they were really intense. There were a couple that were misses for me, mostly because I think they went straight over my head 😂
